Christchurch, New Zealand (and Singapore) (25 March - 3 April 2009)
My Mum's 50th birthday was on the 29th of March, and for the last couple years I had been planning to make a surprise visit home especially for it; completely unbeknown to her. Furthermore, my intended present for her 50th was a free trip around Europe! As my brother turns 20 later this year, and because it would make it all the more special for Mum to have both her kids there, I decided I would shout him along too (and it would probably be his 21st birthday present also ;) My flights between London and Christchurch went via Singapore, and so for the trip back to London I included an overnight stopover in Singapore so I could run around and see a bit of it - nice! Because of the whole Europe trip thing, I could only take a limited number of days off work in order to save my annual leave entitlement for that trip, and as this was the first time I'd been home in almost three years, I had a lot I wanted to fit in and very little time to do it!
