beginnings
I've had problems with the internet disappearing, so, as I have it momentarily (and we are about to leave the house) i will quickly recap!
The flight from Auckland to Dubai was what it was - 17 hours in the sky, nearly changed my mind at about 11 hours, but figured that the pilot wouldn't oblige, even if i asked him (her?). Because i know the deal at Dubai airport, i went straight to the massage place and had a shoulder massage for twenty minutes - $US 54 but hey, it was worth it. I drank a smoothie which may or may not have had any fruit in it, and the wandered (because it is a long way including a fast train ride to another terminal) to get to the gate for the next stage.
And behold, the full season 7 of Call the Midwife, and i binged for the whole trip, stopping only to let the flight attendants push more food into our waiting mouths - didn't even think to ask for a bloody mary.
The night at the airport was forgettable except for the fact that i had the worst ever caesar salad and was gifted a glass of wine for my experience. The pool is worth mentioning though - i sat in the sun and tried desperately not to sleep., knowing that the best plan is to force myself to get straight into the new time zone.
So now i am in Vieux Bocau with Josette and Henry. This is a sleepy beach resort with thousands of people enjoying the surf, sand and sun. Thousands. The photo was taken at 7 in the evening. Sadly my jandels went sight seeing on their own and didnt return in time for me to walk the 15 minute walk back to the house. First thing on my shopping list!
(sorry, couldnt get enough internet to add photos! Will try again later).
