Halfway home

I’m not entirely sure which time zone my body is in - we left NZ 13 hours ahead of UK, flew 11 hours overnight and are now 3 hours behind the UK in Chile - weird!

The flight out of Queenstown was rather spectacular.

We then had a few hours to hang around in Auckland Airport which was sadly like a UK airport rather than Singapore. We flew with LATAM to Santiago on a Dreamliner, continuing our plane spotting tour of the world. Dinner was fairly revolting but it had all the latest films - I watched Judy and can see why Bridget Jones won the Oscar!

I was relieved that immigration etc was as easy as I remembered/ had hoped into Chile and we got to the hotel quickly. We are staying at the Santa Rita vineyard and were given a glass of white wine each at check in and more wine with a fabulous picnic lunch, staying awake is definitely going to be a challenge..

The hotel is set in beautiful gardens and fortunately far enough away from the city to be less smoggy.
