I finally made it to New Zealand and was happy to find that one of my bags made it as well. I was waiting by the carousel forever to collect the ski bag, but the connection was too tight in Sydney for them to make it.
I was pretty bummed out, but happy to see my friends and they took me out for lunch, and the first Speights since ’03 tasted soo yum!
My friends had already rented a car, and they were already used to driving on the wrong side of the street. We were all pretty psyched when we saw the snow on the mountains!
