Disaster

Wednesday 15 October

I was rudely waken by Claude waving at me

our airline tickets.

Our plane was at 7.20 am and not tonight 7.20.

The plane has not left yet but we are not packed

and the airport is far away and we won't make it 

in the pick hour traffic.

Claude tried to ring Air New Zealand but

it is too early. 

Reception is trying to find us accommodation

because our suite is booked and we have to 

leave it this morning.

so much to organize

we got a nice room, but only a room.

It is Ok we are only there for a couple of days

(I hope)

As we still have the car we decided to go back

to a white sand beach to spend the day.

I was relaxing under the only tree on the beach.

No wonder nobody wanted it.

looking up

So we move from the direct fall to the outside shade

Time to enjoy a local beer.

We had to go and pick up and pay for our new ticket.

And also we had to arrange for somebody from 

the car rental to come from the airport and collect their car.

Of course they charged us too.

It has been a costly mistake.

But hey we are in Paradise so let enjoy the extra days.
