So I spoke too soon. Not only did I have a four hour overlay at Melbourne, this was increased by another hour as the plane had problems when it was trying to be attached to the walk way. Then we were all loaded, ready to go and the pilot started to reverse back and all the power just cut off! Great. Another hour later, they assured us that we were safe to go but so many people had then lost their connecting flight in Dubai. Even my wombat (you know how much I love
wombats) Christmas decoration didn't cheer me up. So in total I had two hours at the airport prior to taking off from Wellington, five hour fight to Melbourne, six hour delay at Melbourne, 14 (yes 14) hour flight to Dubai, they turned the plane round quickly at Dubai, another hour wait, then a 7 hour flight into Heathrow, then my journey home. In total around 36 hours. I am tired.
Last night (Monday night) I had Uni until 9.00 then home and never slept all night. I am exhausted. I actually work as in my day job all through the night and then again this morning until around 11.00. Now I am trying not to fall asleep. It really is a weird, horrible fleeting.
So it has been an experience. New Zealand is stunning. It is breathtakingly beautiful. I am so pleased I had the opportunity to travel, literally to the other side of the world. I hope you have all enjoyed travelling with me.
Now I need to sleep ....... but not until tonight.
As always, with my love x
