Here in Auckland it is now 11:45am on Monday 22nd March. In four and a half hours we will be leaving Celia and Hugh's house to head out to the airport. We have already said goodbye to Celia as she has now left to deliver some lectures. We have had a great time in New Zealand and received terrific hospitality from Celia and Hugh and Ed and Trish. We cannot thank then enough.
We depart this afternoon for the 18:50 flight to Melbourne. It takes four hours but we gain two hours so we arrive at 20:50 Melbourne time. That means we will only be 11 hours ahead of the UK, rather than the 13 hours we are ahead at the moment.
Isn't that weird. To be 13 hours ahead. You would think it should be 12 hours as we are exactly the other side of the World. But with daylight saving we have to add another hour making it all a bit nonsensical. Politics. That's what it is.
It is a long drive from the airport to the hotel so all we will do this evening is check-in and check-out.
