Sitting in the Departure terminal, feeling tired after a typical high energy Saturday, I'm ready to jump the ditch to Auckland and be the best man at my Brother's wedding.

Will return Sunday Week totally unfit.

Thanks Weiyun, I've done 20 days in a row (one waterfall included), it will be nice to have a rest tomorrow.

The plane just rolled up... Airbus A320. I'm suppose to be already on. Looks like I'm departing late....

Someone tripped over the power cord at Auckland Airport and my plane got diverted to Christchurch. Being put up in a hotel overnight and getting a domestic flight in the morning....

Did you not have a confirmed ticket? Unless it's because of weather issues, then the airline should have put you up in a hotel. Pretty tough to have to spend the night at SYD.

Spent the Night at Christchurch. What happened was that Christchurch ran out of hotel rooms, there was quite a few planes diverted there

Sis suckered me in to doing a 5k fun run. Last time I ran was Jan 28th 2009. Ironically I came 3rd. Yes it hurt a lot, a real lot...

Back from the recovery ride, legs still hurt like buggery

Sis's run out of beer, I might have to move.

The local bike club has a group ride on every day of the week, varying distances and effort. More importantly they have coffee after every ride. On Sunday I'm planning to loop the harbour with them, taking the ferry back, I'll show them again that steel (and in this case lots of it) is real....

Well I'm back

The highlights were Bro's wedding, Sis's birthday and my nieces birthday. Low point was seeing a head on (yes head on) crash in a bicycle race.
