Alive!
Flight went ok, stopped at Singapore to swim, eat tapas (which was delicious) and drink wine. Computer games came in handy as the films were pretty poor (even though one had GOG action!!). I (Sharon) am now stumped on Mario and can get no further than World 2, any tips to avoid those spiky things would be welcome (GP).
Stayed in Christchurch yesterday, wandered into town for food and wine and managed to get a bit burnt. Returned to B&B and slept for 12 hours having not managed to sleep much on the plane and determined to avoid jet lag.
We are now in Queenstown, assembled bikes at airport and cycled into town (5 miles). Backpackers very nice, clean and has the best shower ever, a bit like a pressure hose. Wandered into town for food and wine by Lake Wakitipu followed by a nice ice cream and then back to the hostel for a (power) nap.
No photo's as yet, Mark was supposed to take a picture of my cankles last night but forgot. I looked like I had the feet of a 20 stone woman, luckily antihistemene sorted them out. Mark reckons I was bitten by a Singaporean ant but I think that's a bit dubious though given the lack of bite marks.
Heading into town now for some food, no wine this time (much to Mark's displeasure) as we have a 105 mile journey ahead of us tomorrow.

After a brief discussion with Chris this morning we both agreed that "RTFM" wasn't an acceptable response to the Mario problem, no real reasons we're discussed although secretly we probably both fear that you can still get at us even though you're 1000's of miles away, so instead I suggest you read this Mario Walkthrough to help you on your way. Also, don't forget that you can drop items you're carrying (shown inside the big circle on the lower screen) by tapping the image on the lower screen.
Glad you arrived safely, looking forward to the next update. I've stepped in to organise Chris (in your absence), he's going to take me to Farham to pick up a book. Doesn't that sound dull?
Rock On!
Singapore ants can't bite cankles - their mandibles are only 1.5mm and usually cankles are at least 5mm, unless it's cold or you play with them. I hope this puts your mind at rest. Glad to hear you are safe!
