What to do for hours in Auckland Airport?

Not a lot is the answer.

Today was Lyn’s birthday. We realised the absurdities of our itinerary. This had us flying to Auckland and then waiting an eternity for a connecting flight. Auckland airport is just not that interesting so we hiked in search of amusement. I put in a very creditable performance at Putt Putt. We bought Lyn a shell pendant at the airport shop. Then it was home to Australia and Warrimoo.

Lyn says we need to go back and see the North Island. I say we need to go back to see the northern bit of the South Island. Then there are the bits we missed this time: Invercargill, most of the Caitlins, the High Alps, the glaciers ... and the bits we don’t even know we missed ...
