Today Auckland new Zealand 14 November 2014

Hi folks well last there I was at Vegas then Los Angeles,  finally it was time to board the plane, due to my request for assistance I was amongst the first on the plane, I went through the business class but could not see my seat, well actually the seats were my premier economy class,  but much better quality than anything else I had come across in mu travels,  the only problem was trying to work out how everything was controlled, fortunately one of the cabin staff was there to assist.
Despite this I still had issues with hearing voices using their headphones or even mine snd it seems they dont have hearing loop systems or sub titles for the films, maybe something to bring up about in the future. The meal confused me because some coursrs were delivered before the main,  so needed to check I was doing correctly, oh I forgot to day that I was sat on my own at this time. I was given a glass of orange to drink but my table was a little unsteady so, we put it on the table next to mine,  unfortunately when I reached across I managed to knock it on the floor luckily no damage was done other than to soil the cushion. Then I settled down to watch a film it was a nice simple one so no issue with following the plot, when it finished it was quite late so I settled down to sleep and apart from trips to the toilet slept quite well.
When I woke there was a man moved in next to me, that would not of mattered but for the fact he had put the pillow and cushions for that seat on my table,  when offerred them back and suggested thay he put them on the floor he did not deem impressed,  I never gound out why he had moved to this seat. I started to watch another film,  again I could follow due to simple plot, them breakfast which was very good, before I could finish it was time to land. I wad by now totally confused as I had been flying for 13 hours but it was the next morning. At the airport the lady who assisted me was very pleasant and took me right through all the sevurity and customs, I have never had cabin luggage scanned

as well hold luggage on the way into a country before.

Outside as promised was Heather who took me to the car, it was quite cool wet and windy,  quite a change from America, we stopped along the way for me to buy food then off to the apartment,  what a change it was in a lovely  peaceful quiet countryside setting, I met Robert the owner and he showed me round and kindly sorted out the washing machine so I could wash the backlog of clothes I had as well as have something to eat. I haf a shower and unpacked it was still raining for a while, but Robert came round to ask would I like to come with him to a couple of places to the views.

I realised I had chosen well by the roads and views it was all so peaceful and quiet, Robert took the time to show me various view's of the city and area, we stopped for a drink and discovered a shared interest in photography do chatted about this for a while,  then returned.  I had got totally confused on my days and dates with all the moving round and then realised that in reality I only had tomorrow because I had an early flight the following day to Oz. Robert kindly had a look at times for me to visit the city and travel on the ferry as well as visit the Skytower subject to the weather.

I had something to eat sorted out the washing and then rested, in fact I fell asleep for a while, now trying to catch up on  blog and e mails as well as FB, will try to have an early night so ad to be able to enjoy tomorrows adventures.
