New Plymouth

Quick Reference
Mt. Paritutu - The Mill - Sheep Herding

    I flew 2 hours to London, had an 8 hour layover, got on a plane at 11 at night, had 11 hours to Bangkok, another 11 hours to Sydney, had a 3 hour layover in Sydney, a 3 hour flight to New Zealand, a 4 hour layover in Auckland, and then an hour flight to New Plymouth.  When I got on the small single prop plane to New Plymouth from Auckland, I remember taking off and that was it.  Next thing I knew was being woken up by the plane landing on the ground.  I was so tired that I literally passed out on the plane.  I had traveled about 8,000 miles and was exhausted.
    I stumbled out of the plane, not being able to see much of anything.  I looked up and thought I saw a gigantic rat.  Was I hallucinating?  No.  I couldn't believe my eyes, but Kevin was standing there with a kangaroo outfit.  Unreal.  What a a welcome party.
