Planning

Our leave and the flights are booked. Like the UK trip we are both travelling on different flights (just like royalty ☺ ). Now all we need to do is book accommodation, rent a car, work out what to pack and complete our Itinerary. Exploring the Banks Peninsular and Akaroa is one trip planned.

We are off to New Zealand

 

Heather and I are planning a brief visit to Christchurch, New Zealand. We were going out to Parkes, in Western New South Wales, but Heathers work had other ideas, so off to Christchurch NZ we go. By using Heathers frequent flyer points I get to carry Heathers bags. :-)

Friday night after picking up Samantha for the weekend. A bit of rain then we couldn't see where we were going!

A spider spotted in our garden tonight. The Garden Orb Weaving Spiders are a large group of spiders with over 100 known species in Australia.



Orb weavers are reluctant to bite. Symptoms are usually negligible or mild local pain, numbness and swelling. Occasionally nausea and dizziness can occur after a bite. If in doubt seek medical assistance.
