February 16<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We left a smoky Christchurch behind this morning. Nearby towns were fighting fires in the hills above the city as a brush fire started in the dry and windy conditions. We smelled smoke overnight and when we left town. Hopefully the firefighters extinguished the flames quickly with minimal damage to homes and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a lovely treat to talk with my friend Varsha in London while we were driving today. We pulled over on the side of the road as we came into Akaroa and shared the view with her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night Mitch happened upon the Shamarra Alpaca website<\/a>. We thought, why not, let\u2019s get schooled and cuddle some alpacas on the Banks Peninsula<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
