6th-Apr-2009 06:41 pm - NZ trip: a short list of facts (so far)

The first flight was OK even though we couldn't really sleep.
The short visit to HongKong was amazing and utterly worth it, and so were the noodles we had there.
The second flight was delayed because the plane was broken and they had to put us into a different one and it took them several hours.
The other plane was a similarly old clunker (while the first one was fine!) as the one that we would have been on if it hadn't been broken. However, we did manage to get moved to a seat with leg room for Gummihuhn.
We did, of course, miss our connection in Auckland and no one told us what to do so we ran around the airport like headless chickens but ended up on an Air NZ flight which was amazingly comfortable. The purser took one look at us and put us next to the emergency exit. Leg room!
We had breathtaking views on NZ during the flight.
It was great to be greeted by familiar faces and picked up from the airport.
We hardly fell asleep on the scenic drive Lytteltonwitch and Futurecat took us on.
We loved the tacos but were quite happy to go to bed right after dinner (=tea).
We slept well and felt a whole lot better in the morning.
Today we went to pick up the bikes and they're sweet. Handling is great. They feel light as a feather and the bike shop folks were really friendly.
We're going to bake a nice big stack of Dutch pancakes for tea (=dinner) now.

More later!
