The airport shuttle picked us up at 6.20am so there was no time for final sightseeing. Sydney airport was very busy but the time passed quickly – there was free Internet at the boarding gate.
The journey to New Zealand was the shortest international (i.e. between different countries) flight we made – only three hours. We could see Mount Cook poking through the clouds as we flew over it.
When we landed we had to put our watches forward by another two hours. We are now the furthest away from Britain we will be on our whole trip.
Our driver from the airport gave us a little tour of Christchurch before dropping us at our hotel, overlooking the cathedral. We explored a little and had dinner in a nice restaurant beside the River Avon before having an early night. We were very tired.
