Thrilla in Auckland

Writer: Ryan Ryan

Where to start. We spent the majority of 2018 in one of the most beautiful country's we have ever visited. No seriously! NEW ZEALAND. Eventually I will post some things about our 5 weeks living in a camper, how we found it, the ups and downs and where we visited. Ill also publish the full list of all the Places we visited.


In the last 24 hours we boarded three planes totalling a flying time of 14 hours and ended up completely dead and in the Philippines.


The start of the trip didn't Quite go to plan. This next bit will be really embarrassing, but hopefully it will stop you making the same mistake!! They say it can happen to anyone. We have been travelling for nearly 3 years now and must have boarded hundreds of planes so for us this was a rooky error. Long story short we ended up at the airport 24hours early for our flight. Gutted. The worst part was we didn't even realise. we arrived at check in, gave over our passports, weighed our first bag and then was told "your flight isn't until tomorrow." There is a very long reason as to why we got to the airport so early but I wont bore you with it. Ill also mention we had to be at the airport at 3am! as punishment for this we had to sit in the airport for 10 hours until we could check into an Airbnb. Not happy. A small consolation though, is that during our extended time in Auckland airport, we were treated to 2 Hakas and also got to see Trey Songz. (don't know who he is? Me either. Jas was excited though.)


These things happen though. You have to roll with the punches and push through the hard times so you can come out the other side and enjoy the sunshine. We arrived safely in Manilla the next day to 32 degree heat. We have so much planned for the next 4 weeks. We will be swimming with sharks, rays and turtles, soaking up the island life and drinking triple rum and cokes.
