Hanmer Srpings - Mt Isobel Walk (1319m):
Longue marche de 4h30, superbes vues, gros denivele, quelques derapages et un peu de vertige!
4h30 of a steep walk, amazing views, a few slipping and vertigo moments..... But so worth it!

Drive from Hanmer Springs to Christchurch:
Christchurch CBD:
J'ai voulu revenir voir le centre ville de Christchurch, que j'ai trouve emouvant et fascinant, et surtout le batiment qui etait en cours de demolition depuis vendredi apres midi (photos ci-dessous prises le lundi apres-midi, il ne reste que les gravats...).
I wanted to go back to the CBD to mainly check out the building that was being demolished since the Friday afternoon (pictures below taken on Monday afternoon). I still can't believe the state the city is still in, after almost 2 years....
Les restes du batiment.... - What is left of the building...
Le 'Rydges' va etre demoli (la structure du batiment a ete modifiee par le tremblement de terre)
The Rydges building is going to be demolished as it has been declared unsafe.
Restes du batiment.... - What is left of the building...
Le batiment de la Police va aussi etre demoli (les empoyes de la police sont revenus travailler dans le batiment apres le tremblement de terre mais la structure du batiment a ete declaree dangereuse par des experts apres des etudes approfondies....)
The Police building is also going to be demolished; the staff came back after the earthquake but a later study revealed that the building was unsafe, it is, since then, empty.
