Well we are in the land of earthquakes. While the group was in the lobby of the Martinborough Hotel checking in, the floor moves gently. The staff says move away from mirrors and out from under the glass skylight. Then we get a short course on emergency earthquake evacuation including where to meet. Quake was 6.1 magnitude 160 km away. The authentic NZ experience. The next day it was discovered that the quake did indeed cause several cracks in the overhead skylight. Yikes.
