Hello NZ!

Thursday, 23 January 2020

Ok  - I'm the first to admit that we don't really deserve another fun trip as we only just came back from OS - but hey here we are! 

We're here for 2 weekends of sprint orienteering with some fun activities jammed into the middle days. This time there are six of us - the four McCombs plus friends Julia and Riley - which is great as after 8 solid weeks of Europe as a little family unit it's nice to mix up our group. As I write this I can hear them all playing cards together upstairs.

The flights over were uneventful. Sort of. We only just made the Auckland flight from Sydney and Jon's luggage didn't make it at all so he's just working out how he can buy some Nike Vaporflys with his delayed luggage allowance although I suspect a compass and e-stick might be more of a priority if his bag doesn't turn up soon - in fact his bag will need to chase us down as tomorrow we head 4 hours south of Auckland.
