Landed
We've arrived! Eventually...
The pilot had to have two attempts to get us on the ground!!!
On the plus side, 'normal' landings aren't going to seem as scary in the future...
At the moment I'm sitting in a room watching the waves marching in across the bay near Plimmerton. Beautiful panoramic view. Shame, I won't be able to afford to live with a view like this permanently, but we'll make the most of it while we can.
First NZ meal - toast
Second NZ meal - toast
Third NZ meal - McDonalds
Probably going to have to work on that then.

Re: Landed
WTF!?!?! Well, at least you have now landed safely.
Welcome to Welly, and seems like you've brought better weather along....least I hope so. If it turns crap again I'll blame you for bringing even more bad weather!
