Saturday 14th May.

Well last nights meal went OK I think, as Bryce’s beer went down too well and Gary kept on wanting more. Being the polite English man I am I had to keep him company.

After a good nights sleep I finally woke at 10:30 only to find it was still dark outside. When I looked again at the time, this time on my phone I realised it was only 10:30 in the evening. So it was back off to sleep again untill 12:00, 1:00, 2:00 3:00 and finally 5:30.

We had a few things to do before we left, like have breakfast, coffee, clean the car and drop it of at Jenny’s. We’ve hired a car to drive to the airport.

The drive was clear and we arrived at the rental company only to find we had dropped it off at the domestic terminal not the international terminal. Luckily the Avis employee drove us to the correct terminal.

As we have Koru membership we are straight through checkin and security clearance without much waiting. Also being New Zealand the terminals are never that busy.

Once through it straight to the lounge, well after a detour to the toilets (the entrance was hidden without any signs pointing the way)

Now only a 4 1/2 hour wait until our flight….. Better pace myself on the corona’s….
