Aargh

Ok. A few hours into the trip and things have become more interesting already.

First, Attila the Hun travelled more graciously than Nils. If it were down to him, a few passengers (including Mum and Dad) would by now be dangling, impaled, somewhere on that plane.

Second, only one of our 6 bags turned up. Dad reckons the plane was load-limited getting into Queenstown and it just didn't have capacity for some bags. And since we checked in close to last, our bags stayed in Auckland.

On the positive side, there is no sign of snow here. And it might be too warm for artificial snowing.

But for now, lunch and dinosaurs. Cheerio

Wanaka here we come

We left home bright and early to catch the Queenstown flight. General grumpiness is remarkably low. Hey ho!

Fashion

Another of Ella's spontaneous creations.

Nils & Ella

Looking at them like this, you would be forgiven for thinking they are as sweet as cherry pie.

Stardome & playground

Party time for Ella and Nils at the mighty Stardome, complete with rocket launch and all.
