Through the oval window

I had plans of taking the first sights of NZ the air as we flew into Auckland airport but it was cloudy & wet, the very first time we have ever landed in the rain!
The A380 is a fantastic plane, an interesting view of the engines as we flew out of Melbourne.

Not a good photo!

I have been thinking of you all day, feeling sorry for you arriving in the rain.. but to make you feel better us farmers are very pleased with the rain...

[Nick]

Such a shame we couldn't turn the sun on for you but I'm sure it'll be back soon. Hope you have a great holiday.

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro I know Brian is over the moon & I know exactly how you feel so that is perfectly OK. Going to buck up on Friday apparently!

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro I looked for your washing but of course it wasn't out because of the rain!

[Pat Knowles]

@nickspicsnz thanks Nick.....my head keeps nodding so it's off to bed soon.

[julia]

@happypat Didn't do the washing today .. maybe when you fly out.. bet you have happy farmers with this rain as well..
