The school holidays have started!!! We have been up to all kinds of stuff... As you can see Seb is a pro at the oars. Even with a broken arm...
What is with Dom's top???? That is so weird. Anyway, yes you are seeing this right. We visited the Paua House, where some cute old couple nailed a couple of thousand paua shells to their living room walls.... Miake loved it and wants to decorate her house back in Germany like this, eh Miake....
FINALLY Megane and Maike worked out how to row together and they stopped going from bank to bank... Dom and Lucy, and Sebastien are about a mile ahead of them :) It was a great afternoon messing about in boats.
Lucy took Maike for a crawl thru the moa bone "cave" in the museum. My kids thing Miake is AWESOME and insisted on showing her every cool thing that is left standing in town :)
In the museum we saw the top of the cathedral up close. It is really dented, and much bigger than I thought. Please note Sebastien's pink cast - it is gone now, and he is healing nicely.
Dad's house is coming along nicely... (Megane, Maike, Sebastien)
We saw the guy who wrote "Wonky Donkey" at the mall (Megane, Ella K, Lucy, Wonky Donkey guy,Grace K and Sebastien)
We went sightseeing around town (yer, we saw the rubble and the new shops made from tin containers) and met the Town Crier. Please note, we are standing under the working gas lamp by the Avon River. How that thing survived the earthquakes is a miracle to me... (PS Jack, he isn't really a pirate)
Sebastien did some leaf-graffiti (it only took a week to rake up enough leaves, sigh)

Is it just me or does the Wonky Donkey guy look like a Wonky Donkey gal - with a chin flavour-saver? I'd call it a goatee, but it's barely that :)
LOVE Sebas' graffiti!
Ana, I thought the exact same thing about Wonkey Donkey (wo)man.
I love the graffiti, but I love the beach MORE.
