Mother Nature Hates Us

So we obviously had that huge quake last night. The whole town was abuzz about it this morning. We woke up, had breakfast and boarded our massive coach which was to drive us 4 hours deep into the rain forests and into the Southern Alps on our way to the fiords where we were to take a boat cruise through the mountain lakes and sounds. The drive was great until we started to get up into the tight narrow roads on sheer cliffs of the mountains where we were informed there was a high risk of avalanches today. Of course we were on edge after that tidbit of info. Suddenly we turned a corner and discovered that meer minutes before there was another 6.0 earthquake which triggered a landslide across our road. This literally happened minutes before we reached the slide area as there was only 1 car between us and the debris. We were stuck up there for a while before the rangers declared the road closed and informed us about the earthquake. Our guide was told to get us out of the mountains quickly for fear of additional quakes and slides. It was a tense, speedy 4 hour drive out of the rugged terrain. Alas we're finally back to our hotel no worse for the wear. TIME TO DRINK!!!!
