Trip towards Auckland

At the Schiphol airport i met a fellow traveler to New Zealand. 

She participated in the master games at the age of 76 (kind of an olympic games for 35 - 100+) in Finland and managed to win 5 medals. This is quite an achievement and means that i traveled in the company of a genuine world champion. After attending these games she spend spend some additional time in the netherlands to visit her relatives.

The airplane trip was quite a challenge. The KLM plane was delayed for 3 hours, which meant that we would miss the Air New Zealand flight in Hong Kong.


In Hong Kong the groundstaff explained that the Air New Zealand flight was delayed as well. And their plan was to re-book us to a Cathay Pacific flight still on the 16th. Luckily that worked out nicely at least that was my assumption.

The flight to Auckland was fine however not all lugage was transported to Auckland. In fact my bike is most likely still in Hong Kong. However all other lugage arrived correctly in Auckland. So hopefully the bike will be delivered to my Auckland hotel tomorrow (18th).Once the bike is here i can finally start my cycling trip!!
