Wow what a fantastic journey from London via Lala land on Air NZ. Excellent plane, fantastic service, nothing was too much trouble. Can defo recommend Air NZ, simply brilliant.

Through customs, smooth, out to the shuttle bus and into the city, so beautiful and clean.

And here we are at the Quadrant Hotel and Mrs Foggy is happy with a mountain of brochures (geek).

Next stop several hundred miles of trekking.
