We have not long devoured the last of the Whittakers Peanut
Slabs brought back from our short trip in November to New Zealand and we are
off again to stock up. This time we plan
to tour both the North Island and the South Island over the next 7 weeks. But first we have to make the marathon
journey again.

Delighted with his personal service in November, we have
once again contracted young Paul’s airport taxi service. No doubt the driver will require refuelling with
a ‘full English’ at Beaconsfield Services on the M40 before the drop off at
Heathrow Terminal 1.
Back with Air New Zealand again, our route calls at the
infamous Los Angeles LAX airport. Whilst
our plane is refreshed and refuelled, we get an opportunity to stretch our legs
as we are subjected to the full rigours of US Homeland Security’s immigration
process. Then it’s a quick dash from
Arrivals to Departures including about 10metres outdoors in the warm afternoon
LA air. More fun awaits at the X-Ray
machine and the full body scanner (sorry but, no, we won’t be posting Polaroids
of our scans here).
Total journey time to Auckland is 26hours 40mins and
distance travelled is around 12,000 miles.
