Journey: Train from Manchester to London, overnight in a Heathrow travel-lodge after a walk round the capital, following afternoon flight from London Heathrow to L.A -not much of a wait before going onwards- to Auckland NZ!
Flight = 26 (painful) hours
Destination = Auckland NZ via L.A
In flight entertainment viewed: Julie and Julia (maria's favourite), 500 days of summer, Borat, Sound of Music, Up, Transformers 2 (Ricks personal favourite), two and a half men, big bang theory, Endless music on the music channels, and relentless checking of the computer flight map!!
Funniest Moment: Seeing stars as i nearly passed out carrying three of the heaviest bags in the world down a flight of stairs in the London Underground, felt quite woozy when I got to the bottom! Also watching maria break into tears after waking up thinking she had been asleep for hours when it had only been ten minutes, ha-ha!
Music most listened to: Fanfarlo - Ghosts
After the journey here we spent the night in fancy dress partying it up with Amanda and Ian's friends at a welcome/Halloween bash, Had a great time but jet lag did take affect!
Here to stay for 12 months now, next blog will be of Mt Eden and our first week 17,000kilometres away from home.....
