This site is located on an old school of a village now unable to support a school of its own. This was a poignant experience - Kaikoura so near and yet too far to reach easily because of the now broken road structure after the serious earthquake late mast year.
As a result of the vulnerability of the single-lane, single 'expressway' being unsupported by other road networks or rail links, there is now no realistic way for tourists like us (with a 'Big Rig') to each the township of Kaikoura. Retailers are struggling as a result and many businesses have closed. Where is the Government on this? Mmmm, well suffice to say it is too reminiscent of the Christchurch earthquake - which after 5 years, so many many people are still waiting for insurance payouts to enable them to have a habitable house once again.
