Touch Down Singapore

After a stressful night packing that wouldn't have been possible without the help of Julie, we thought we had it sussed to 23KGs something we could get away with.  Negative, when weighed this morning at Welly airport we hit a whooping 25KG.  For anyone that has ever taken me to an airport (Kate Davidson I am thinking of you) this won't be much of a surprise for you!  However both Mum and I agreed I had packed really well for me three pairs of shorts, one pair of jeans etc etc.  Oh well we got the bag on in the end!

Not the end of the bag story though.  After arriving in to CHCH and getting settled down I hear my name over the loud speaker... Damit I though they know how much my bag weighs I am going to have to re-organise EVERYTHING.  No no, it's just something "soapy" has spilt in my bag and gone everywhere.  They felt they needed to inform me even though they had already loaded the bag and there was nothing I could do.  So now that I am looking forward to arriving jet lagged in Budapest with possibly one hell of a mess to clean up I am wondering whether I would have rather re-packed my bag!

I managed to snake two seats to myself (the only two in the row) at the back of my section on the plane.  So it was a reasonably comfortable 12 hour flight.  Lunch and 3 movies down we hit some pretty bad turbulence that left me feeling rather ill, AND delayed our dinner to about 9pm NZ time I was HUNGRY!  Never the less I am here safe and sound in Singapore waiting six hours for my next flight to Germany which isn't till 3am NZ time.

So I leave you now with the more appetizing of the two meals I had, and one of Ty fr Phillip.  Big ups to Singapore Airlines  as always outstanding service!
