It can be reported that so far this has been a really uneventful trip! Everyone arrived at 8.45am at the international part of Christchurch airport, checked in, said our goodbyes to our faithful supporters and headed on our way up to a rather empty international lounge. Following a small wait we boarded onto our Singapore Airlines plane headed for Singapore. As we settled into our seats we mussed over the fact that in a little over 10 hours we would be in a different climate, different country and having a whole lot of fun. The plane trip was filled with lots of movie watching, eating, and a bit of card playing.
As soon as the team left the plane, they were hit by the heat and the humidity. But to be honest, it wasn't that bad! A nice change from the freezing cold winter of New Zealand.
The team spent a night at the Allson Hotel in Singapore, before arriving back at the airport at the crack of dawn. The team is currently enjoying a light bite to eat for breakfast, before they head down to their gate to make the 4.5 hour flight to Taipei.
Spirits are high, jet lag seems to be a thing talked about only in the magazines, and a golden sunset appears to be on the horizon.
A big thanks to all our supporters, from the Paddle Ferns
