Well im in Dubai international right now, can of Budweiser in front of me and me an elinos are between flights. 4 hour flight back in the wrong direction wasn’t pleasant. Neither was the flight charge because of the small problems I had leaving the UK. Small tip…don’t forget the bring your visa to the airport.
But once we’d paid the extra flight charge we then had shit with immigration an nearly got dumped on with another charge, but the chief of immigration in Colombo airport let me off? I didn’t ask question, me and Elinos grabbed our bags and legged it to the gate where everyone was waiting for us on the plain!!
Like is said before, were now in a small bar in Dubai and waiting for our flight to Auckland, NZ. Got my visa ready for that one. Not sure how they’ll like my bank account details but I have a return flight ticket and around £100 so I’ll have to swing it a little bit but im not too worried. We just heard from our first contact in Auckland that there ready to pick us up and that theres beers on ice ready for our arrival!! But I will be honest an say that im ready to crash out an a nice comfy bed that I can actually fit on an not sleep in it wait for mozzies to bite the shit out of me. Its apparently raining there but im welsh and rain doesn’t bother that much.
Dead excited about the next step. With continue this blog on my arrival into New Zealand!! Woop woop!!
Auckland.
Well they’ve let me into the country, was a bit touch an go but they pretty much threw me into the country!! Was on edge abit as I didn’t have the exact amount of doller in my bank account when goin through immigration but the chap at the desk was more than happy to hit the stamps!!
Me and Elinos got picked up after our 23 hour round flight by her friends here in Auckland. Within an hour id been lined up with some carpentry work!! We’d been pointed in the right direction to everything we’d need. Tucker and his girlfriend are putting us up for a few days. They live in a 3 bed apartment and they cooked us the most delicious bbq, which me and Elinos were praying after as there is only so much curry you can eat before a nice big steak is required!!
What followed the bbq was a lot of vodka and beers an laughs. Bed by 11pm and now as I write this me and Elinos are up and about at around 7am local time in Auckland, New Zealand. I’ll keep you posted.
Peace.
