Ahhh...travel..

The last 24 hours have been quite adventurous. Had things gone to plan, I would probably be unpacking my things in the lodging.

Alas..I'm in the Auckland airport, waiting for my next flight. I was supposed to fly to Dunedin, but a ~1 hour delay and a long line at customs ended up causing me to miss my flight. Since the next flight to Dunedin is 6 hours away, I've decided to shuffle a few things about and take the next flight to Christchurch. If things go to plan this time, I'll be able to fly to Dunedin from there. If that all works out, it'll only be a 30 hour trip!

Even if things got a little bit messed up, my experience with the Kiwis so far has been great. Everyone is warm and friendly. The first thing people did when they sat down on the plane over here was introduce themselves to their neighbors and start chatting.I knew I was headed to a great country when the safety video was done by Bear Gryllis and the pilot updated passengers with the latest rugby scores via the intercom. 

Looking forward to finishing the travel, taking a shower and getting my legs moving again.
