Thank you New Zealand!

Posted as we waited on the plane. GingerNan if you see us off, thank you. I looked out for you. Not sure if that would count as a Blipmeet… ;o)

Christchurch remains hot and sunny, though windy, I gather there’s big changes tomorrow. A large plume of dust crossed the runway just before a plane did a fly-around—possibly related.

My main Blip was taken at breakfast. Later, we watched as these guys walked through the lobby each time they needed to return to the top. I did show them my photos which they liked saying I should be a photographer…

A Lockheed C-130 took off southward to colder climates—I caught the takeoff on video from the hotel’s 6th-floor restaurant, where we later watched our flight arrive.

Huge thanks to everyone for following and commenting on our trip, especially the wonderful Blippers we met—you made it truly special!

Update from Sydney: I have added an extra taken whilst taking off at Christchurch. It shows GingerNan’s red car as she watches us watching her!
