I have arrived in Wellington! Woohoo.
I had to take one flight from Bangkok to Sydney and then another to get me from Sydney to Wellington, but I arrived!
The flights themselves were fab; lots of interesting things to watch on the personal television screens and lovely food and drink, and to make it even better, on the second flight there was a whole rugby team: The Bulldogs. Some of them were HUGE. One even had arms wider than my head!
When I got to Wellington airport all was going very well until I had to get into the ‘Customs’ Queue, I think because I had been backpacking and had come from Thailand they wanted to check that I didn’t bring anything nasty with me.
I spent an hour and a half unpacking and then packing again, as the customs officer checked through everything. It wasn’t bad, just time consuming. But I’m here and I’m glad to be š
