Oamaru to Christchurch, Saturday morning flight. You should really not be tall or broad (or have a fear of small planes):

This Beechcraft 3200 from Air National (btw: not the “Spirit of Waitaki“) seats 17 people. Scary. Nevertheless always an enjoyable ride (if it decides to be there). So now I made it to the home of the Jaffa Auckland. Just found out that World Party will be the opening act for Steely Dan. How spiffing! The views from the Hyatt Regency are brillant as usual:

Always nice to be in urban spaces again, even if it’s the location you dare not to speak about Auckland.
