We woke up to a very windy morning, and headed inland. We stopped in Rangiora before going to the DOC site. It is a lovely town, we had some coffee and waited until 1pm for the library to open so we could use the free internet. We surfed the net and charged the computer and watched it drizzle outside. We were very excited that Beth had her baby and he is healthy and of course cute as all get out! Around 4pm we headed to the DOC site, and of course the directions had a typo, but after only one uturn we found the spot anyway.
We just about had the place to ourselves except for another van and a tent that were set up, but were very spread out since this site has 50 spots. We went for a short hour nature walk in the drizzle and scoped the place out. This site is right next to a tree plantation so there is a logging road that runs by it, so we prepared for Monday and hearing some big trucks.
We made dinner in a hurry since the sandfly's were out in force, and then got in the van had a 1 hour session of killing the ones that made their way inside with us. Once the massacre was over we went to sleep, not long after we felt a tremor, our van shook for a few seconds then it stopped, I guess we are close to Christchurch!
