Day 20 to 22 - Travel to New Zeland

This was the part of our travels that we neither of us had been looking forward to. In the diary the three flights that we had to do covered a three day period. Our actual travel time was around 38 hours and crossing three different time zones.

After a 2am get up we caught our first flight from Lima to Santiago were we had to wait ten hours until our next flight. The flight had some good scenery of the Andes.



The flight from Santiago to Auckland passed by quicker than we thought but was still long and tiring. The final flight was from Auckland to Queenstown. Once again we saw some really good scenery of the southern alps. The landing into Queenstown was pretty interesting as the approach comes through a valley with mountain ranges on either side of the wings.



Our apartment in Queenstown was better than expected with fabulous views of the surroundings and a five minute walk into town. We fell asleep at 3pm that day which was supposed to be for only an hour but turned into a solid 15 hour sleep! We awoke the following day at 6am.
