We were up at 5.45am, had breakfast and then out and to the airport. We are tracking at about 83kgs of weight in the suitcases but managed to get the bags checked straight through to Wellington so will hopefully avoid any excess weight charges.

The flight to Singapore was fine and killing eight hours in Singapore is surprisingly easy (albeit easier still with a laptop). I will get one before my next trip!

We managed to get lost in the new terminal section after taking a train there and got back to where we were meant to be by taking a further two trains - all within the airport! The airport is huge! It's also very well thought out and gets top marks for free Internet access and clean toilets.

We also took the opportunity to buy Eli an Olympia 795 camera (waterproof to 10 metres and shockproof to 1.5 metres) along with a 1gig memory stick and a 4 gig flash drive for NZ$606 - which at the time of writing is a very good deal!

Flight from Singapore to Auckland was alright. Managed to get some sleep and watched a couple of movies however it would again be better with a laptop.
