In the land of Mordor

Got to the Sydney airport at 5:15am. I just about missed my flight, after falling asleep in the waiting area. I was the last one on the plane, so no worries. I got into Auckland at noon, after a two hour time change. The weather was terrible, and there were all kinds of hang-ups with my camper reservation. I didn't get the camper out of the company lot until about 3pm. There were squalls periodically that about blew me off the road, but I persevered and found a trailer park in Ranui, north and west of Auckland. The wind and rain came sporadically, but at least I had a place to stay. I called Kim to arrange pick up at the airport. I neglected to tell her about the weather, figuring she doesn't need to know that information. Hopefully tomorrow's weather will be better.Read more
