Ok so i was on my first big overseas trip to brazil, my parents wern't to happy about it, i mean me in a forign country by myself sounds kind of scary when i don't speak the language. but the whole idea came across when i thought i would visit my ex boyfriend who i met in new zealand a year earler. He had to leave suddenly to go back to brazil as his father was sick and long distance wasnt really working so i thought id visit him. With my flights all booked and ready to go, the day came around pretty fast, and soon enough i was on the airnew zealand flight from queenstown, nz to auckland international airport where my parents were meeting me to send me on my journey. who by the way flew up from new plymouth to auckland which is about a 45 minute flight. things are going pretty smooth untill i go to check my luggage in and the lady at the counter tells me, that there has been a change in my flight and i would have to be stopping over in buenos aires over night, of course its my fault for not knowing as i didnt call the travel agent before i left to make sure everyting for my flight, although in my defence she wrote a wrong digit in my email address. once everything was sorted i was on my way again to buenos aires this time. i hop on the plane which seems pretty cosy, but what i didnt realise is we got no tv and the small tv up the front of the plane was in spaish, so the long 14 hour journey begins of flying and being bored half to deaf. abouth 3 hours later lunch comes around and its sald rolls on stale bread with cheese and crackers and a bisscuit. which was alright but the salad rolls i ate about half of that and had to give up. after another 2 hours it started getting dark outside and people started falling asleep i tried to sleep but as much as i did i just couldn't get comfortable and my head keeps falling to the one side which really anoys me cause i don't like to wake up with a sore neck. so i managed to stay awake most of the flight, not bad for a 14 hour journey, next thing i they make an annoucement that breakfast will be by shortly, that makes me happy as im quie hungry by this time, when breakfast arrives i choose the scrambled eggs, i have never tasted something so horrible in my life, nothing tasted like it should of but then what should ive really expected it was airoplane food. we touched down in argentina we then have to wait half an hour for a taxi bus to pick us up off the tarmac and take us in the terminal, once there we gathered our bags and the lead us to a bus no security or anything i was very supprised by this as i could of had anything in my bag. once on the bus we were taken to a very fancy hotel,( all paid by the airline with breakfast and dinner included)once at the hotel i check my self in and head up to the room, i sit down on my bed and decided im tired so i tried to sleep a little this was about 10am, next thing i know theres a doorbell so i get up try to work out where its coming from but cant find any evidence of this so i tried to go back to sleep then there was a knock but by the time i got to the door the person had gone, i now think it was guys i was talking to on the bus, they were about my age and heading into sao paulo on the same flight as me the next day. after such a long flight i couldn't belive how awake i was, i wanted to go explore the city but being by myself i was a little scared so i stayed in the hotel, dinner time came around, and wow the food they served up was delicious soup as an entree, beef and veges as a main and i cream as desert i felt a bit spoilt compared to what i had on the plane. after dinner i went back to my room and watched some spanish tv sitcom. i did'nt understand a word but at least it was better than me steering at the room till morning. after getting a bit of shut eye i get a wake up call from reception at 5am i get up shower and head down for breakfast. the buffet was full of excotic fruit from the country different hams and cheeses 5 different cereals, deffently was a good start to my morning. after breakfast i finish packing the last of my things and head down to check out, i have to get a taxi to the airport this time as everybodys leaving on different flights. i point on my intinery as to where i want to go and the reception staff give the taxi company a call it arrives with in 5 minutes. in the taxi im thing this isnt the way we came last time i soon realise that im flying out of the domesticl terminal witch is about 20minutes drive away the international terminal, once i get there i pay the taxi man the amount and head inside, i then check my luggage in with no problem and head on through to my termanal, on the other side i had a bit of time to spare so brought myself a coffee (one of the most ridiculus expencive coffees i have ever paid for and wasn't even that nice) after that i then head on to my gate. it was then smooth flying from there to fortaleza with only one stop over in sao paulo for about and hour. once i arrived in fortaleza my now ex boyfriend was waiting for me, he wasn't very happy though as when i was in argenting i tried calling to him to let him know my flight had changed but i couldnt get through and so i ended up emailing him which he didnt get my email untill after 3 hours of waiting at the airport for me. and so the adventure began......
