On 27th Feb we spent the night back in Christchurch, all in one room together - just in case.  It felt slightly surreal constantly waiting for an aftershock - there were lots of course but we slept through one (typical Merricks style), and the others were too small to feel.  The next day however we did feel a 4.1, just felt like a train speeding past the house at close range!  Was happy to leave today!

Jon went straight to Hong Kong and I had a few days in Sydney at Lara's.  Was great to see her and Eli again.  I took the kids on the open bus tour round Sydney and then had a lovely girls night out with Lara and the very stylish Ivy!  Although flying 8 hours, alone with kids and hangover, was not too much fun!

Hong Kong Disneyland is amazing.  The hotel is very chic but everything has a Mickey Mouse theme on it, so kids and adults are both happy.  The characters walk round the restaurant at meal times (so not much eating going on) and most of the kids food is shaped into Disney characters,

The theme park itself is brilliant (and immaculate) - Jon and I had a blast - oh and I think the kids loved it too!  They have become minor celebrities with the Chinese constantly taking pictures of them!  They were pretty much the only blonde kids in the whole of Disneyland! An absolute brilliant end to a brilliant trip!
