We had a very nice Sunday in Wellington (North Island, New Zealand) and an uneventful flight to Melbourne (Australia) Sunday evening. Went to bed early. Woke up this morning to messages from home, thank you for your concern friends! Feeling shocked about the earthquakes, and glad to not have experienced evacuation. Our hotel was in downtown Wellington and must surely be empty now.
There is hardly any country more prepared for earthquakes than NZ, except possibly Japan. They all know what to do and how to prepare to minimize damage. Information is everywhere. Sad to read about loss of life, and damages. All our best wishes to Kiwis of all kinds, and the visitors to NZ, some of whom we've met on our journeys.
