Nz fly and drive 13 jan to 23 jan 2013. Summer.
Day 1. Took qantas flight at 1950, SIN t1. 1950Hrs. Hmm wifi doesnt work on s2 quite well. Forever connecting. And finally boarded the plane, not too last min this time. First time the inflight entertainment was kept switched on thruout the taking off and later landing. Diverted the passengers' focus n kept any anxiety at bay. So why cant the other airlines do likewise, maybe it was implemented in recent months? Fidgeted alot on plane. Woke up at 3 plus for bfast! Caught premium rush, ted and perks of a wallflower. The bike with single gear and no brakes was cool. Damn they rode thru nyc jus the way i will do. But road terrors indeed.
Landed at sydney t1. 0650 hrs. transiting in a zombie mode. Dunno wat pic is my fren taking, i jus followed suit. n then up on the plane again, heading to christchurch. 1330hrs. Fetched GER 747, toyota previa from the airport n off to ashburton. Not many mountains, vast flat land mostly. Abundant space with nature. Cattles,sheep, few horses sadly, farmlands. Checked in Taylors Motel. like a lodge house. They got the tripadvisor award. 2011 i think. Not too bad. Shared dinner. Gosh. Their portion is huge. No way one person can finish all on his own without the shirt button coming off. ordered famous grill. Sausage, steak, ham, heap of chips. Tasted alright. Then went exploring new world, the supermart. Whoa things are expensive. Probably more than uk. Slightly cheaper than switzerland tho. Grabbed some bread and cookies. Lazed ard and concussed. Jet lag or lack of proper rest on planes. As usual.
