Well,... we arrived in Auckland on the 23rd June by the skin of our teeth.
Just by chance, on the 21st, we looked at our flight tickets and noticed that our flight was that night. Luckily we had taken the overnight bus the night before from Puerto Varas to Santiago, so we were only 2 hours from Santiago in Valparaiso when we noticed our mistake / stupidity had a quick shower, some lunch and headed to Santiago. We checked in in plenty of time. The flight was a nightmare. Only people under 5 foot, should fly with Lan for 13 hours. We both had cramp in our legs and feet. Food was okay, nothing special. Movies were, Wild hogs, and a Drew Barrymore / Hugh Grant movie about some guy who was in a band in the 80,s (don't rent/or buy it)
We are staying in a hostel in the centre of Auckland. It is nice and we have slept for 13 hours, waking at 2am, 4am, 6am and finally gave in a walked the streets looking for baked beans at 7am. Found them, and some drunks and headed back to heat them up (not the drunks, the baked beans).... Great, we have not had beans on toast since March (it is amazing the things we miss)
Planning on either renting or buying a camper van and today we are heading to Devonport to spend the day there. (it all depends on how long we can keep our eyes open)
Jet lag is weird.....
