We did the last coach bus tour we were going to do on this trip.... heading back to Christchurch for a final nights rest until we all split up and took our separate planes home. We had a final supper at a thai resto called thai samurai which was very good and then headed off to our own accomodations... Goodbyes are always tough but for me and Roger we would see a few of the people from the tour in sydney and maybe a few more while we are in OZ... Our flight was at 7 am which meant we had to be up by 3:30 .. we set three alarms including a wake up call and two cell phone alarms.. but to no avail .. we missed our flight and woke up at 6:30 .. so we took a shuttle over the the airport and tried to book another flight... Air New Zealand was offering us a ticket on the next flight for and extra $381NZ but we instead found a flight with Emirates for less than $200 and book that one with the hope we can salvage the money from air new zealand when my lovely gf comes to see me :)

The flight with Emirates was absolutely amazing, service was awesome, food impeccable and 3 1/2 hours passed tooo fast !
Ironically enough missing our flight led us to taking the plane to OZ with two friends we had made in NZ (Hang and Alan) and they not only would take care of us over the next few days but they also drove us to our hotel and gave us the low down on sydney ! :)
Till the next update!
