After 35 hours of travelling, we are now in our hotel. It’s very nice, though the food is too expensive (eg $20 for two eggs) so we will be eating elsewhere.

Our new vehicle, collected from Barry, in South Wales, yesterday. About 350km each way, by coach and train down, then back in the van.
We’re sorting out a few small niggles and then heading for the South Coast.

Our 747-400 about to load for the trip to London. A bit old, this one, and a good advert for Air New Zealand.

Passing the time in the departure lounge, takeoff at 2155.
