Arrived at the Airport on time and waited in the Emirates Airline Lounge and watched
Tottenham Hotspurs thrash Arsenal live on the television whilst having early morning snacks. And at take off we noticed the Singapore Airlines Airbus A 380 parked at the terminal unloading about half a million people or about 450 ish.The Emirates Business Class was very comfortable but not as good as Virgin however whilst eating my breakfast a steward rushed through and knocked it all over me. Wonderful.
Arrived in Christchurch and the weather had cooled down from 28 degrees yesterday to a mild 15 degrees today, lets hope it improves soon.
We are staying at the Hotel Chateau on the Park, we have stayed here before and it a very rest full almost country Hotel with nice gardens and ponds etc.
We went for a long walk followed by dinner in a nice outdoor restaurant on the park where we had our food cooked on a small hot stone, It takes four hours for the stone to get hot, the waiter from Bradford told us, so please wait for a few minutes before its
ready?. As it happened it was a nice way of having some steak cooked very plain with vegetable with a couple of beers to wash it all down.As we walked back to the Hotel we heard some noise and found out it was the Christchurch Street Buskers Annual show and for a massive entrance of a pound each we watched for a while but did not stay long as we had an early morning. We will however go back tomorrow evening.
Note ,,on the flight over I watched a new british comedy called Death at a Funeral. Its really good so my recomendation is to try and see it.
