We flew to the South Island and were in Ashburton at Kevin and Doreen's home for New Year. The kids enjoyed a day trip to the Antarctic Centre in Christchurch. The children got to wear jeans and sweatshirts for the first time in a year and a half! At the end of our holiday we had a few days in Mangawhai where we got to swim in the surf, go eeling and bush-walking before heading back to Singapore via Brisbane.
