ReplyDeleteThanks Fi.
DeleteWelcome home, Graham.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pauline.
DeleteWow! What a journey! Enjoy! xoxox DeeDee
ReplyDeleteI'll do my best DeeDee but I know that it'll be struggle coping with the warmth and sun!
DeleteYou've got to be a tough guy to make this journey. I hope you had some space on the plane.
ReplyDeleteRed it's not something I would ever do for fun but seeing The Family and my NZ friends again will make it all worth while.
DeleteWelcome to Napier, your bags will be ready to collect in 5 minutes. Great to hear that you are back enjoy the sunshine

Hi Greg and Kendal hopefully we'll catch up when I've settled in.
DeleteWhat a journey. You're a better man than I am; I'd collapse before I'd gone the first thousand miles. Have fun, my sister lives right up in the north (Kamo), if you see her do say hello.
ReplyDeleteWell Cro I would have been up there next week but for the fact that Pauline has had to go to Oz unexpectedly so our safari has had to be abandoned.
DeleteWhew... you really must love NZ and your friends and family there lots, to take up such a long trip!
ReplyDeleteThere are places all over the world I'd love to see, but I shy away from the idea of being on planes for so many hours.
Meike I do love New Zealand very much and, of course, all my friends here.
DeleteAlmost there! Such a long journey - even longer than the one I am soon to embark on. Have a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteWell Serenata I'm here now. I'll be in touch soon.
DeleteWelcome to the Lands Down Under, Graham! Enjoy your stay, as I am sure you will. It's good to have you back down this way...just across The Ditch! :)
ReplyDeleteWell Lee I left a wet and miserable Melbourne yesterday morning and was a bit surprised but the sun is fair dinkum cracking the flags here is Kiwiland and it's not yet 9am!
DeleteThat's really quite the journey. My friends and I have been talking about traveling down under for years now. And it was always the flight that truly hindered us.

Mersad the flight isn't fun. The longest leg at over 12 hours is a drag but, for me, it's a price worth paying.
DeleteWe'll miss you here !
ReplyDeleteI'll be back for coffee soon enough Andrea.
DeleteIt is good that they have yellow lines in the sky to guide airline pilots. Are they painted on the clouds?
ReplyDeleteYP, you truly are what in German I'd call "unbezahlbar" but can't really find an equivalent for in English (not in this context at least).
DeleteYP and Meike it took me a while but I think the English language equivilent is 'priceless'. As for the Yello line YP the problem is the areas where there are no clouds.
DeleteThat's right, priceless it is!
DeleteIt's doing crosswords that helped me work it out Meike. Given how tired I was (although physically I didnt feel tired) I quite surprised myself.
DeleteI hope after that journey it is warm and sunny. We are enjoying a heatwave here.........it's been perfect for over an hour.
ReplyDeleteAdrian you crack me up but at over an hour surely you are exaggerating!
DeleteI can feel your excitement from way over here!!!
ReplyDeleteSoon you'll be back "home".
Gosh Virginia is it really that obvious. I though that I was being so laid back too.
DeleteHope the last leg of the long journey went well too! :)
ReplyDeleteMonica it did! I'm now truly ensconsed back in my other homeland.
