Travelling Light

Is there such a thing for a family of four? Actually, I don't think we did too badly. We "only" had two packs, two carry on small suitcases, Alex's backpack and Oliver's carseat. We were lucky that we were able to borrow a lot of "baby stuff" from people in NZ which reduced what we had to carry.

On the way to the airport.

Alex asleep on the first flight from Amsterdam to Shanghai. We were lucky and the plane was semi empty so we were able to stretch out a little.

And on the flight from Shaghai to Auckland ... two boys asleep


We were so lucky. Both of the boys travelled amazingly well. I never worried about Oliver, but I had thought that Alex might be a handful. We had no tantrums from him ... a few grizzles of course, and the worst moment was when we were coming into land at Christchurch and had to turn off the DVD. Who wouldn't be upset?
