January21/09 We are sitting in the Sydney airport awaiting our flight to Auckland. It is 5 p.m here and 12 midnight Wpg time so we are a bit zonked -travelling since 7 pm last night!. I think our flight is about 4 hours so we will be ready for a real bed tonight. We had an absolutely superb flight from Vancouver to Sydney. Upon boarding executive class, we took a few moments to figure out those wonderful seats (pods) that actualy recline into a bed as well as many other positions and actually provide a back massage. Shortly after we had a wonderful menu option meal complete with assorted wines and then I fell promptly asleep. Bob watched a movie and then slept about 5 hours and I slept approx 6 -7 hours. You actually wake up feeling quite refreshed and then have to amuse youarself for the remainder of the 14 hour flight. The pleasure of actually having a bed to lay down on really made the flight enjoyable. I realized that using the credit card over the years has paid off in the number of points to fly executive class.We were met by old friends in Sydney and spent a grand day with them walking, having coffee,and a fish and chip lunch at an outdoor cafe with panoramic view of Sydney harbour with sailboats and ferries; and then catching furthur amazing views of downtown before coming back to the airport. Slightly sunburned!

January 25, 009 we have been enjoying Christchurch and surroundings. Went to the buskers festival here two days ago. Unbelievable performances. Great beer and wine to be sampled all over NZ. Auckland was a bit tiring the first day as we had not caught up on our sleep but when we did we strolled around and saw Leonard on Thursday evening. Unbelievable performer and he was on stage for 2 /3/4 hours. Went to Akaroa yesterday on some hairy roads but it was worth the trip although the relationship suffered a bit. We had some fish and chips and found the place as beautiful as last time but more touristy. Venturing furthur south tommorow. I'm trying to attach some pictures but lost my whole entry last time so will give that a go for now. Back out to see buskers. Margaret
