The Delays
A great band to hear at an Isle of Wight concert, but not so good when the concern your flight.
After hearing the second call for our flight and it being 30 mins to take off and a 15 minute walk to the gate, we left the comfort of the lounge.
Taking our time we arrived at the gate 10 mins later to find that boarding hadn’t started.
After another 10 mins waiting we were told that take off had been delayed until 22.15, 30 mins late.
Bene’s band could have had another hot chocolate (well that’s another story).
Finally seated in the plane, with our pre-flight glass of bubbles, we were informed that there was a discrepancy in the bag count and the pilot didn’t know how long this latest delay would be.
The final delay was when we landed, our gate wasn’t available and so we had another 15 min delay.
So not all Delays are good.
Now to see what happens on the next leg.
Leaving on a jet plane
Well it’s time to leave NZ and travel off to Europe.
Perhaps I can write my blogs this time as song lyrics.
So I’m leaving on a jet plane, I know when I’ll be back again.
The weather currently us thunder bolt and lightning, very very frightening.

Ngaruawahia Other
Ngaruawahia lots of steps and a car drive home
Went halfway up the steps as a training walk. I must also stop recording at the end of each section so that I don’t include the car trips back home.

Hamilton training walk
390 steps down and back up on this walk if you do as we did and go down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down and up. Just like us to get stuck in one spot.
