Aotearoa // New Zealand
This trip was meant to happen in 2022, just as the world was emerging from lockdowns and borders were beginning to open.
Overpriced tickets were bought to see old friends, and in the attitude of ‘she’ll be right’ some details were overlooked, namely the customs entry requirements.
The flight I had booked was scheduled to land at 8pm, but unless you had a special entry permit (which I didn’t…) the general public couldn’t enter the country until the following day.
So that ticket was lost to an online booking agency, whose overseas call centres had the last say with “I’m sorry sir you must pay the fee” which was the same price as a new ticket :-/
Hence, I didn’t make it across the Tasman until 2023.
These are some images that from that trip.
