Flights

I've booked flights today; all being well, I'll arrive in Dunedin on the 19th of February (having left LHR on 17th). It's amazing seeing this coming together and I'm really looking forward to it coming about now! Having said that, there'll be lots of visa bits and pieces still to come - X-rays, medicals, police checks totalling £350-£400 and around 30-40 pages of forms. Going to be a busy New Year!

Well - I'll just stick in a wee photo of where I'm going. In fact, it's taken from the top of the hill where I'll be living (as certain as one can be of geography 11800 miles away)

While I'm on the subject, I'll add one of where I'm coming from

Hmm... not a great photo - the far side of Belfast Lough appears to be dissolving but you get the point. I'll find a better one. Incidentally, there're hardly any decent Wikipedia photos of Holywood, so if anyone has some, please do upload them!

Cool beans. More when I've more info.
Best, Phil
