Unfortunately our departure from Sydney was delayed by over an hour. On top of that, all transit passengers had to leave the plane and then stand around in the gate to get back on again
The Kiwi in me took pleasure in seeing that it was pissing with rain in Sydney, but in New Zealand I would be arriving to brilliant sunshine.
A fairly short flight, only three hours. Watched Cowboys and Aliens, which I quite enjoyed.
Bit of a bumpy descent to Auckland airport with the plane dropping a couple of times to the accompaniment of 'ooooh's from the passengers. I remember the same thing happening the last time I landed in Auckland.
Arrived an hour and a quarter late, but fortunately I had allowed breathing room for my domestic flight. All the staff in the airports here in NZ are really friendly, even security. Christened my NZ passport.
Depart for Wellington at 1745. Flight is only a little over an hour, so this very long journey is almost over. Will be good to see family, and also looking forward to sleeping in a proper bed.
