First leg of our journey to New York

We are in Los Angeles awaiting our next flight to New York. The trip has been uneventful so far apart from the extremely long wait at customs. It was so long that some poor chap collapsed! Interesting during the whole time he was unwell, no paramedic turned up inspite of being summoned - I wonder what would have happened if he suffered a heart attack???

It is about 8.30 in the morning - 20 degrees in temp and fine, after a 13 hour flight - and still Saturday!

But I have to say that the scenery on arrival here is not a patch on the view we had upon leaving Auckland. We flew across the Hauraki Gulf under blue skies and over a stunning blue sea. It was so clear that we could see all the way to the Bay of Islands and all the way down the Coromandel Peninsula. There was a ribbon of puffy clouds going from Great Barrier Island Northwards, made more dramatic by the shadows they cast on the water.

Even after watching the movie "Earth" during the flight, and its beautiful photography, I can categorically say that the beautiful view out of Auckland Airport suppasses anything on that movie. Some time I will get some pics up....

Oh and when you get the chance - go and see "The Young Victoria" It is very good...

Oh there's our call - see you in NY NY!!
