NZ 09

We just returned from New Zealand after spending 10 days driving around South Island. It was your first time taking the plane and mama was worried that you would not be able to tolerate the 10+hours flight. You actually wanted your own seat though you only have the bassinet! But luckily all went well and the air stewardess actually complimented that you were well behaved.

We touched down at Christchurch and drove to Hanmer Springs. It was very cold and started snowing in the evening. Though it was freezing cold, it made the holiday even more memorable. Then we went to Nelson, Kaikoura, Akoroa and then back to Christchurch. These places are so scenic with lots of sheeps, cows and horses as we drove from one place to another. You certainly enjoyed the drive and would said "hello sheep/horse/cow" and "bye bye sheep/horse/cow" whenever you saw the animals. And mama was so relieved that you were willing to sit in the car seat during those long drive round the island.

You thoroughly enjoyed yourself - taking the plane, feeding the animals, running around the field and plucking flowers, new hotel rooms to explore etc. We are so fortunate to be able to enjoy these experiences together.
