Onwards to New Zealand

From leaving our hotel in Bangkok, 6,500 miles, 3 flights and 23.5 hours later we arrived at our hotel in Christchurch, New Zealand. The journey wasn't actually too bad, although we had our drinking water confiscated on 3 separate occasions (twice due to some weird Australian rule - even though one of those times we were in Bangkok and we weren't staying in Australia, only transitting via Sydney)... Emirates were a great airline, again, including plenty of in-flight entertainment with lots of kids programmes - we let Solana have unlimited screen time on long-haul flights, so Solana loved it! We didn't get much sleep on the flights but Solana got some. She was tired though - she even fell asleep sitting on the luggage trolley whilst we were walking from the international to domestic terminal in Auckland to catch our 3rd flight, bless her - see photo. We have 2 nights in Christchurch, then head down to Dunedin for a few days, where we're looking forward to visiting friends June and Dave.

Finally, massive congratulations to Gemma on your successful DPharm viva - well done Dr Quinn! Great news.Baca lagi
