Leaving New Zealand

In the Aspen B & B.

I was up early for a run around Albert Park this morning. I was feeling fairly energenic so I ran an extra lap and a couple of sprints up the hill.

When I got back to the B & B Sue was practically packed. We went for breakfast then returned to our rooms to finish packing.

We brought all our stuff into the lounge and sat waiting for the taxi that was scheduled for 11am. There was no milk left so we decided to call the taxi early and sit at the airport instead of the hotel.

We left the B & B at 10.15am and set off for the airport. It was sunny and the skies were blue. It was a pleasant ride to Auckland Airport.

We had soon cleared customs and were waiting in the departure lounge after getting stung for a $50 departure tax!

We had a very uneventful flight and landed at Changi Airport, Singapore 8.35pm. We got a shuttle bus ($14 for both of us) to the Copthorne Orchid Hotel, they are much cheaper than taxis. We took our cases to the room and then headed down to the bar for a beer. £7 for two lagers thank you. We only had one drink then off to bed as it was a very long day.
