Emirates kept it quiet that the plane stopped in Brisbane for a couple of hours on the way into Auckland. I then had to wait 3 hours at Auckland International Airport for my transfer to Nelson. After 30 hours of travelling, I'm finally here. If the world wasn't round, I'd feel I'd reached the end of it.
The luscious greenery from the plane window stood in stark contrast to the dusty streets of Dubai. One of the most treasured moments of travelling is taking those first steps from the airport door and allowing your senses to experience something new. You can taste the recently fallen rain in the air and study the shape of plants you've never seen before- plants that here are a delicious fusion of forrest and the subtropics.
It was a relief to see Hannah finally and her daughter Maya waiting for me as we picked up my bag from the aircraft trolley.
You will all have to visit me here from now on because I don't think I'll get on a plane again.
