Refueling

Not the best of images, all covered in rain drops on the window. 
With D being away in the States for almost a month, I'm taking the opportunity to do some projects in Christchurch that require more face to face time than I can offer from Auckland. Also hoping to take time out and re-explore some of my old favourites like Punakaiki and/or Kaikoura.
The weather has been bad on the East coast of the North Island, and although I'm pretty used to flying, that was one of the roughest exits from Auckland that I can remember. Nice and sunny in Christchurch, but snow is falling in Cleveland and it sounds like it is pretty rough in the East of the USA too.
