So, our trip started with a very long journey from Zürich to Christchurch via Singapore. This was bubs' first international trip and he did very well. We also did well out of traveling with a baby, as we got the extra leg room at the front!
Still in his carrier, waiting for passengers to board.
Flying with babies has some advantages at least!
We arrived in Christchurch on the 23rd December, had a lovely Christmas with our families, and then headed out to the family batch at Port Levy.
For those who don't know, Port Levy is a small bay about an hour out of Christchurch, and you get there via other bays (Diamond Harbour, Purau) so it's a lovely drive and we were lucky enough to have a beautiful day for it.
The time between New Years and my birthday was spent catching up with old friends in Christchurch. One very lucky friend of ours has the most amazing home out by the beach in Redcliffs, and we went out there for dinner one evening and got to soak up the beautiful view.
The main event while we were home (aside from introducing our son to his family!) was my sister's wedding. Lots of fun was had in the lead up to the big day, and the big day itself was wonderful. The Bride was beautiful, the flowers were beautiful, and the wedding cheeses were beautiful!
After the wedding, we took a short trip up to Kaikoura with a friend, and stopped off at a winery on the way home. Once again the weather was beautiful.
After Kaikoura we only had a few days left in New Zealand, and we spent those days with our families and close friends, and then, we made the ever so long trip back to Zürich. We had a wonderful time back home and want to say thanks to everyone who took the time to see us and feed us, look after us etc. We miss you all!
