We had a great conversation with the young ranger. He was also a geologist and very enthusiastically told us all about Lewisian gneiss. I really enjoyed it.

Blue skies in Christchurch NZ this morning, although it might change later today. We're staying in the centre, just around the corner from New Regent Street where there are several great bars and places to eat.


We also found a local gin 4 Bars that was created by a former Cathay Pacific pilot Chris Giles who we had a chat to at the bar. Guess which one.

If you like Asian food, I can highly recommend Rangoon Ruby on Colombo Street, specialising in Burmese food, of course. In a word "fabulous", but as usual YMMV...

WRC cars a few ears ago had to run electric between competitive stages, there were many issues and it reverted to fully petrol engines. As an aside the petrol used is not made from oil.
