Finally there


So, after 30 hours we finally arrived in Wellington New Zealand. Luckily with no surprises. Boarding passes were not an issue in Melbourne, luggage arrived savely at baggage claim and customs were easy going.
Currently it's very windy and rainy but it should clear up in the next days.
The hotel which WETA provides us is great and will help us to settle down.
I will try to fight the jetlag for two more hours and then I'm done for today.




That's what I call leg room


Yes the 60 € more for the emergency isle were definitely worth the money. Plus we were sitting in the upper deck in the tail section. It was quiet and the service was very good. Food wasn't as good as with the Emirates flight but they made it up with hot chocolate with marshmallows :).
Now we are waiting for our last trip to Wellington. This could get interesting because we still don't have our boarding passes. Let's see.

Dubai Airport


The three hour stop in Dubai is almost over and our big bird has arrived. 
The flight to Munich wasn't that bad. I was surprised by the dinner. I think it was the biggest meal I ever had in a plane and with metal cuterly.
So in 30 min comes the big leap of 14 hours flight. Let's see how the Quantas a380 is holding up.

This is it

So here we are at the airport in Munich. Baggage is checked in (3 kg were still free, damn...) and now we are sitting here at the MC Donald's enjoying a small snack and we are looking forward for the first six hours in the tin tube. Stay tuned next stop Dubai.
