Day 64 March 4th 2016

Great evening for flying into Christchurch.  Clear skies and the Kiwi beak of Farewell Spit and Golden Bay to our right.  We had fun trying to spot the beaches we walked across when we did the Abel Tasman and Awaroa which has recently been bought by the NZ public to gift back to the country for all to share.  What a beautiful country.

Day 63 March 3rd 2016

So how is it that in the southern hemisphere the first day of the season is on the 1st of the month but in the northern hemisphere the seasons change at the equinox?  The first of March definitely didn’t feel like autumn here but the light this evening down the river path and the colour of the fallen leaves is certainly consistent with autumn.
