Rubble and silence

Home again today, what a wonderful time in Wellington I had though. I flew back into Christchurch today (as it is about 3 times cheaper than going straight to Dunedin) and then hitched the rest of the way back. It was my first time hitching alone so I was a bit dubious. It was odd being back in Christchurch, I haven't been there since I spent summer working there in 2011 before the more devastating quake. It was quite a shock to see how utterly different the city was. The CBD was full of rubble and silence, it was quite saddening.
