... heavy rucksacks to the train station. We got the train to the airport and then once checked in waited only an hour before boarding our plane to New Zealand. Sadly there were not two seats together on the plane but with good food and a good choice of movies it made no difference – especially as Geoff wanted the window seat so I got the emergency isle with lots of leg room although it did come with a responsibility. In an emergency I would have had to open ...
