Day 635 - Christchurch, New Zealand - Perth Australia
Day 635 - 5th March 2007 +9:00 GMT
Had to get up early and make pack up all our bags. We got picked up by the airport shuttle at 9am and taken to Christchurch Airport. The airport was really busy and we queued until 10am to check in. All our bags were overweight but luckiyl we were not charged any extra. our flight to Auckland took off at 11am and we were in Auckland just after 12:15pm. We then had to walk from the domestic terminal to the international terminal were we meet up with our friends Kees from Wellington. We had a beer and some food with him and then boraded our 2:20pm flight to Perth, Australia. Jill and I were given an emergency exit row so had extra leg room. There was only one TV screen on the plane which was at the front and was hard to see from our seats. We watched Casino Royale and Stormbreakers on our 7.5 hour flight. We were also surrounded by the New Zealand Hurricanes Rugby Super 14 team. We chatted to them briefly and they insited we come and watch them play on Friday again Perth red's. We landed at 5:55pm Australian time and it was still 39 C at that time. We were picked up by Sarah and Peter who are family friends. I have known Sarah since I was born. They drove us back to their house which is a fantastic 3 bedroom house with an outdoor eating area and a massive living room with high ceilings.
