So we had such a wonderful holiday in New Zealand I thought it only fair to share........ Have tried to keep it short and sweet but you can see how fantastic it was from the photos!

Day 1 - 21st July 2013

Left Abu Dhabi an hour late at 11.30 am

It was Freddie's Birthday - big fuss made of him by Hien the Etihad Steward - gave him a present of an Etihad plane for his birthday - such a nice gesture!

Arrived Sydney at 6am their time - so glad we scraped the barrel to upgrade - 14 hours is a long trip and it was great to be able to lie down!  Watched The Hobbit in preparation for Hobbit spotting!!!!
