NZ trip Day 1 - JQ143 & Christchurch

After the dinner with Mudfew last night, back home and do my final packing.
Everything's ready. Have a good sleep, woke up at 6:30am and went to the airport, with nervous, same feeling as leaving Hong Kong.

Thanks Brain for waking up so so so early to drive me to the airport.

Finish check in at 8:25, my flight depart at 9:30am, and I need to be at the gate before 8:50am, well no time to walk around. Go through the immigration and custom, no problem, a bit lost when finding gate 27, but still make it. The plane was not connected to the ramp so got to take the connecting bus to Bay 11, a good chance to take more photos~ :p

Board the plane at 9:08am, have a great windowed wing view seat, with NO ONE BESIDE! hoho!! My seat just was facing the touch down zone of runway 16R, cool!! I've took a few aircraft landing pictures~ Push and start at 9:30am, on schedule. As Bay 11 was so close to runway, we taxi for like 2 min and we arrived the holding point F, waiting for take off. 9:46:01am, JQ143 take off Runway 16R.

No lunch provided on board so I spent AUD9 for a sandwich and apple juice. Started to descend at around 12nn, moderate turbulence, but very nice landing at Christchurch. Before I left the plane, I ask the flight attendant if I could visit the cockpit, and they ALLOWED!!! This is the first time I entered a real cockpit. Full of button, the Captain are so busy and just said hello and good bye. The First Officer try to show me some button which they can pressed, that's just amazing~!

After that, I pass through the immigration, the officer almost forgot to give me a chop, grab the luggage, pass through the custom, no problem at all.

oops, no more nervous already.

Took a lot of stuff at the information center, get on a bus with route number 29, arrive city, few min walk to hostel, settled down, walk around city, found a library with free internet access, opps, and here I am.

The hostel was beautiful, will take a few more pictures later.
Still no plan for yesterday, well may be a one day Lord of the Ring tour, still to be decided.

Got to find something to eat, see you guys later~!
