Made it to New Zealand! Christmas Day number two vanished and having put the clocks back in America, they were accelerated forwards on the next flight so that the sun next rose to begin Boxing Day 2014.
Not sleeping some where between America and NZ |
Auckland airport is right by the sea so made for a dramatic welcome to the islands. Inside the arrivals hall were some statues from 'Middle Earth'! We were swiftly through customs and met by our driver. We were waiting for a couple from another flight so had time to grab some breakfast and sit outside in the morning sun while we waited. Tired like we'd been up all night, but happy.
The taxi got us to Alex's place, but I'd given them the wrong house number! Mass confusion was soon avoided though as I recognised the house from 'street view'. Inside was heaven. The softest sofa, water and sleep were all enjoyed. To try and avoid jet lag we set an alarm to only slept for an hour. Then we showered and went for a cuppa with the neighbours! We've been invited out for dinner at their daughters tonight, so have come home for another nap after A quick walk around the hood..
Nice pad!
