When it rains, it pours

You may be thinking that post title is a metaphor for something in my life that I am about to share with you, but it's really just about the tropical storm/cyclone that hit NZ this week. It really rained - A LOT.

This is what happened to our underground parking lot.

Apparently, some sort of pipe burst due to the amount of water flowing through it. I don't really know the details. All I know is that I have to park on the street and the carpark smells a bit like poo.

The rain also made its mark on my beautiful Mount! This landslide landed on top of the holiday park (a.k.a. campground) at the bottom of the Mount. Luckily, no one was injured!

We have now experienced earthquakes and tropical storms in NZ. I guess that is one thing Canada has going for it - not much of those type of natural disasters going around causing trouble. They are kind of exciting though...

On another day, this is the beautiful Pilot Bay at sunset and shortly after. We live in such an amazing, lovely place. Someone remind me again why I'm leaving?
