Day 16 (Mar 21 2013): Travel to Singapore

Today we said goodbye to New Zealand.  As followers of this blog have seen, New Zealand is simply a majestic country that produces a seemingly endless supply of stunning vistas.  It enables you to imagine what life was like millions of years ago, and provides an oasis of nature and beauty from the modernity and urbanization of (most of) our daily lives.  I can’t recommend a trip to New Zealand highly enough, you must visit at some point in your lives.  You won’t regret it.

Nothing to actually report from today, other than a 10 hour flight from Christchurch to Singapore.  Singapore Airlines is lovely, I can see why they are so highly rated!  We met up with Carrie’s college friend Akiko (and her husband Mathieu, who are also kind enough to be hosting us at their apartment) and had a nice dinner at an outdoor restaurant called Kilo.
