Just a quick post as I only have a little time left on my internet time at the lovely Christchurch central library so just to say NZ is still fab and we're are due to be flying up to the North Island in about 3.5hours for a week around that ... so I have a bit of time to see a little more of the city and get some lunch while the others do the Antartic Centre ... good all round as I need some independant travel space! No doubt I'll blog sometime on the North Island (when maybe Dr Tom doesn't take up as much time as now on keeping my social life busy!). Luggage weight for this flight was 20.4kg so I got a heavy tag! up from18.6 at Heathrow but I have an emptyier daysack for carry on!

Tine is going so bye for now (and try to get round the typos!)
