I’m not sure that honeymoon’s are meant to be this
exhausting but we are shattered. We drove to Christchurch airport, via Andy’s
work to dump the waste water and then dropped off the campervan. I loved the
camper, it was hard to say goodbye. Onto the airport, only to be told that we
have a 3 hour delay and may not make our connection in Sydney. Sad to leave New
Zealand but it’s time to get back to normality. We can certainly say that we
have seen a lot of South Island. We won’t see Matthew and Andy for another two
years until they next visit the UK but it was so amazing to see them.
With just 2 flights leaving from Christchurch in the
afternoon, I wouldn’t say the airport was buzzing but the money off voucher
from the airline came in very handy for a 3 course dinner before the flight. We
waited and waited, and consoled ourselves with the free wifi. Eventually we
boarded the plane and were off for 3 hours, and onto business class. The flight was going on to Dubai and I’ve
become snobby, but I really wouldn’t want to fly all the way home in economy.
We just need to win the lottery to travel business for other flights.
A dash through Sydney airport because we only had an hour
before the next plane left. However, it was 9pm at night and 26 degrees outside
and the air conditioning inside was obviously struggling with the heat because
it was boiling. We made it in time, even had chance to nip into the business
class lounge, then back in business class and flat beds. One film, one dinner
with a cocktail to start with almonds, then appetiser of smoked chicken, main
of salmon, pre dessert, cheese course and then praline! I could get used to
this. Nap time, ear buds in, eye mask on, duvet and pillow at the ready.
