We are here!
At last I have the equipment to be able to update this blog!
We left Singapore for a 7 hour flight to Sydney where we should have connected with the flight to Christchurch 3 hours later, but this was delayed for another 2 hours so Sydney Airport was not the most exciting stopover! There are only so many cupsof coffee you can drink!
Once in the air, the service in Qantas knocks spots off BA and the flight was 30 minutes quikcer than the expected hours so it wasn't so bad. We had a great welcome from Lal, Val and Ciss and it was back to Lal's place for a welcoming BBQ and fun afternoon and evening. It was so warm we stayed out on the patio till bedtime !
As Lal mentioned on the message board, my shoes needed for the plane, had split along the side which as they were quite new, annoyed me - never mind, I bought a new pair in Christchurch the next day.
Today we went to Christchurch Races and met up with Uncle Darryl, Pauline - their daughter Nicole, Mark - with son Connor and daughter Bridie, Gwen, Justin and their son Marshall, Ciss, Val and of course Lal.
We had a great night - socially and also on a betting level where we came out practically even!
Tomorrow is our last day in Christchurch before we set off on Monday for North Island.
I got some great photos as the races of everyone there, but I will have to get back before I can upload them.
Enough for now, I'll try and find a Cybercafe a few days into our North Island trip. See you soon!

What was the problem? The shoes or the feet?
