12 hours in the air, bring us to the familiar sights and sounds of Singapores Changi airport.

The weekends must be an altogether quieter time to fly, the plane was only half full and the airport didn't seem so bustling.

We spent a few minutes browsing the shops, before freshening up for our onward flight.

A new experience for us, sitting " upstairs " on the plane, the seats seem smaller but we are in a row of just 2, ensuring no smelly strangers!

In a few hours we will arrive in Auckland ready for our adventures.

Hope everyone at home is doing ok, will try to speak tomorrow xx
