Granted New Zealand is not a large country, we landed in Auckland, on the west side of the North Island, and by the end of the day we arrived in Napier, right on the eastern side of the island. We have a good day, and the driving was enjoyable!
Earlier this week I woke up with two texts messages sent by Air New Zealand. They informed me that our flight from Sydney to Auckland was cancelled, and I should reach out to my original travel arranger to find out about re-scheduling. Crap. This was one of two flights I didn’t book directly. Off to the phone I went…
Our starting point this morning had an outstanding sunrise. Yes, I took that picture walking towards our rental car in the motel parking lot. Our return trip to Sydney is a success. I cannot believe it’s already been two weeks that we have been in Australia, and we have covered a lot of territory already. How much? I got the odometer reading as I returned the rental car this evening.
Friday’s Post was posted early as we headed to an Aussie Rules Football match. Today we left Melbourne to start making the trek back to Sydney. We’ve split the drive over two days to not repeat the marathon day of driving we did last week.
Today is a milestone — we are driving 0km in a car today. No plane rides either. After 14 days, we have a day where our modes of transport are either our feet or riding a streetcar, err, tram to explore “CBD” (Central Business District) Melbourne. I think we both feel in a form of Nirvana today as we’re aren’t in transit at all today. Why am I posting so early? We have plans this evening!
