Time passes, I realize that a good ten days has passed since my last comment on our journey ...
What's new? We arrived in town, in Christchurch, the largest city in the South Island. 340 000 inhabitants live in this city where residential areas are spread out of sight. She claims to be the most English of all cities outside England. The large central square, buildings that rise, wide avenues cutting the arteries checkerboard, the sun, the beaches crowded with tattooed surfers do not make me think the perfidious Albion. 
Certainly the banks of the River Avon, manors scattered in large parks, some red brick houses or LHD recall the colonizing country. However, life looks more relaxed than the city, people seem to take the time and traffic and pollution are rather abstract concepts!
We try to make a place in this city. Looking for a job and a place to live occupy our days. We still have time to visit, participate in local events or we integrate the local fabric.
Christmas is coming. Here, hats and gloves occupy the bottom cabinets while Tshirts and shorts are playing an increasingly substantial. Children write their list to Santa that makes more appearances! We've seen him in flip flops and surfing under his arm at a large outdoor concert. Christmas is definitely the coolest in the Southern Hemisphere!
