• Travelday to New Zealand/Auckland

    14 Kasım 2024, Hollanda ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    We had a big delay when we were flying towards New Zealand. We had to wait for hours and hours on the airport at Brisbane, but that didn't stop Bella, Nina and myself from having a good time. Because of the delay we received vouchers, so we went to the make-up section in the mall section and bought ourselves some lovely lipsticks, went into the business lounge TWICE and just had a long chill among the rest at the gate before we could finally board our plane to Auckland.

    Upon arrival, we had to declare a few things before entering NZ, so I declared that I got in touch with wildlife, as we were touching Logan's (Koala) butt at the Australia Zoo. Nobody said I had to do that because it was in a Zoo, and coming to the desk at the airport, it became very clear I indeed did not had to declare things like that. But as a first time visitor of NZ, I just didn't really know haha. Better be safe than sorry I guess..

    I got through customs quite quick, but other people had to have their suitcases opened to double check if everything we brought was okay. In the end it was, but it took a long time for some people to get through it,

    When we were all complete we were greeted in the most amazing way. I had a wish this would happen, but when it did, I couldn't contain myself and could only smile and cry at the same time.
    We got greeted by Eru and his beautiful group Kaihaka Kapa Haka. They sang and danced for us and we in return also did some for them. It is a beautiful experience I will cherish for my entire live and I am so grateful I got to experience this.. I sometimes still cry about it hahah.

    As the time difference was +3 from Brisbane, we arrived pretty late but had a very nice dinner that evening (at 11pm) and went to chill in our hotel room after.
