We arrived in Auckland off the international flight where we selected customs and grabbed are bags and headed over to the domestic terminal. We had a few hours to fill In there so that was spent eating, relaxing and talking before we met at the gate at 4:30pm to board the plane to Queenstown.

We arrived into the domestic terminal in Auckland around 8pm where we all collected our bags and headed over to the international terminal, joining the long line to check into Malaysia Airlines to get out of NZ. We had a few hours to get through customs and get some food before finding our seats on the big plane and settle in for the long flight. Fair to say we were all pretty tired by then.
