After 5 flights and 55 hours in transit (24 hours of flight time) - we made it to Christchurch! Actually, more impressively, our bags made it!
We had a long layover in L.A., where we took a bus to Marina del Rey and had Chipotle for dinner, and another in Sydney Australia. In Sydney we took a train right downtown to Circular Quay where we walked around for about four hours. It was 27C and sunny unfortunately we were wearing jeans and heavy hiking boots and were so hot! Sydney reminded us of Vancouver:
- Vancouver Convention Center vs. Sydney Oprah House = Both iconic buildings built on the ocean.
- Stanley Park vs. Royal Botanic Gardens = Both large park areas in the city and by the ocean.
- Stanley Park Seawall vs. Sydney Seawall = Both seawalls on the ocean going around the large park area.
- Gastown vs. The Rocks = Both old stone/brick buildings from the turn of the century where trendy stores, restaurants and coffee shops now reside.
We are now relaxing at our amazing friend Didier's house in Christchurch enjoying an espresso.
