The journey begins

Holiday backblip- New Zealand- Day -2 (seeing as we're not even nearly there and I'd already called one day 4 so need to make the numbers match)

The first of 6 flights we'd be on getting to NZ and back. We left Gatwick on time, had a couple of hours in Dubai then an hour stopover in Melbourne before finally getting to Auckland 2 days after we left. It's a very, very long way!

The boys were great on the planes, they loved the in-flight entertainment and slept reasonably well.
