Been in Chch for 2 weeks today and have been really hot all of the time. The temperatures are a big step up from what we left. Seen blue sky every day at different intervals.....magic Also washing dries so quick... Just as well, living out of a suitcase.....wife packed the other three....

Have you started work yet or are you still settling in? Hope you have managed to do some 'touristy' things. The quake exhibit in the museum is worth going to and also the guided walk which leaves around 1pm from the booth just outside the museum.

Hi Stacey the big noticeable difference is the intensity of the sun when it shines trough. It can be a cool day but the sun burns so hot and high in the sky I have to wear a wide brim hat and shades. Can't sit out at midday far too burning. The amount of light here is really astounding.....really changes colours.

It's very hot! We're quite surprised! We never used sunscreen in Egypt but we use it here daily after I got quite burnt in minutes when we first got here!

Sadly it's windy today and apparently tomorrow it will be very windy - well we're near Wellington so quelle surprise

I know I'm going to get a lot of grief for saying this but we're rather looking forward to a bit of cold and gloom!
