On the road again :)
After a long planning phase our next big adventure finally started. We flew from Zurich over Singpore to Auckland, but one thing after another.
Looking for flights with the least possible plane changes we ended up booking with Singapore Airlines, but thanks to the Star Alliance program we could fly with Swiss from Zurich to Singapore and depart at 10:45pm on Sunday night, arriving in Singapore at 5pm the next day. Since our connecting flight with Air New Zealand was a day later, we dropped our things off at the airport hotel and headed into the city for dinner, geocaching and some light sight seeing.
Unfortunately, everything took a bit longer than I had planned it, so we didn't get dinner before 8pm. We then headed to the Marina Bay to get a good view of Singapore by night.
We also found a couple of Geocaches, one of which I hadn't found during my last visit.
But with the time difference and the long flight, we were very tired and soon headed back to the airport.
The next morning we got up early to catch our 9am flight. After a quiet journey we landed in Auckland at 11:30pm. Clearing immigration, customs and walking to the airport hotel took quite some time and so we didn't get to sleep before 1am.
However, since we only had half a day (due to another 5 hours time difference) and I had slept on the plane, more sleep was a bit elusive.
In hindsight, we probably would add another day in Singapore to ease with the time difference and to get some more time to really enjoy the many sights the city has to offer.
Both Swiss and Air New Zealand had superb on board entertainment and I was able to catch up with a couple of movies I had missed (Deadpool 2, Incredibles 2, Fantastic Beasts and where to find them...). Air New Zealand also featured a number of TED talks, two of which I watched and can highly recommend:
- Your body language may shape who you are
- How to make stress your friend
Now we are looking forward to explore New Zealand :)Labels: geocaching, pictures, traveling
