Our last day in New Zealand. We fly to Thailand tomorrow evening. We tried to register at the Sudima airport hotel where we had made a booking a couple of months before. They decided that they had no record of the booking and informed us that the ...

Blog part 2 March 27 - April 7 On Sunday we flew from Auckland to Christchurch and went straight to the hotel sudima. They told us breakfast was included and we were used to our comfort inn knock off raisin bran, folgers in your cup, and if we were ...

At the God awful hour of 04:00 we were out of the Sudima, Christchurch to check-in for a 05:40 flight to Auckland and on to Adelaide, Australia. We found once again that while rural roads seem to be well marked, signage in the Christchurch Airport leave ...
