I’m here!!!!
Arrived safe and well

Flight was good
managed to keep awake to adapt to NZ time … ![]()
Saw huge electrical storm as I flew across India – it was quite spectacular – as was looking down at the shape of places like Dehli – from the air looks like a huge snow flake!
Had mad dash across Singapore airport – and was give wrong gate number by the ground staff – so was mild panic ![]()
Just had chance to text Murray that I WAS on the Auckland plane before we took off!!!! ![]()
and I got to fly over Aus – which MY Premiere Tour Guide had said I wouldn’t ![]()
so I waved at all my friends down there – not sure where I was at the time as its such a B I G place but its the thought that counts …
Landed at Auckland slightly ahead of schedule – and they let me into the country!!
which I thought was very decent of them!!!
Met by a marching band, banners, jugglers fire eaters etc ….
Ok so that was the version you’ll see in the film ![]()
no was met by my Mr Wonderful
( viewers of a sensitive disposition may want to avert their eyes!!!) ![]()
and still can’t quite believe I’m here
so almost 36 hours on (still haven’t come to deport me
) I’m totally on local time – even waking up at my usual slot!! ![]()
went up to Whangerei (if its spelt wrong blame Murray he told me!!!
) yesterday to see his Nan Moff – a totally gorgeous lady of 90 who unfortunately fell the other week and broke her hip – mind you if I’m like her at 50 I’ll be chuffed … and I got to meet Mum and Dad too
and seeing as they haven’t dragged Murray off back home I think I’m doing ok!!! ![]()
Have new friend too – called Buster (sorry Freddie!) took him for a walk
last evening …
Today the sun is shining – not sure what we are doing yet – going with the flow …
Off to Rotorua and Taupo tomorrow for thermal spas, mud pools and volcanoes …
time for
Murray!!!!
4 now ![]()
