A quick trip to the North Island made me realise I am a tourist in my own country....because the scenery is simply the best in the world.
First let’s start with my last Sunday afternoon…because I was looking forward to a nice relaxed evening. I was to fly up to Rotorua on business on Air New Zealand in the next few days. I didn’t think about the school hols so when I saw the prices, I went ‘Oooh, maybe not this week’.
Wayne suggested I pick up the phone and ask a good friend this question…”do you have much on this week”? “Why”? was the response-next day I was in his plane and we were off! It was like…WOW! I have lived in NZ all my life and I can see why people love our SCENERY!
Suddenly, I am a tourist in my own country, we flew up the east coast of both the South and North islands and made Rotorua in just over 5 hours. Next day after my meetings we were back in the plane and making the straight line back to Wanaka. We landed in Wanaka just over 5 hours later, we had stopped briefly to pick up fuel and so I grabbed the sandwhiches out of the boot. I love to live in this wonderful scenic place called New Zealand, except I get to call it Home!
