Our Holiday - the Wellington to Brisbane leg

We flew out of Wellington on Saturday 17 May. There was a slight delay as the plane arrived late and when we were seated it was Mum and Ezra, Dad - and a pregnant woman in the same row! Yikes! But the flight attendants soon offered us our own row near the back of the plane - or one of the roomier seats by the exit for the expectant Mum. We encouraged her to take the seat and get the extra length so that all worked out nicely. Ezra was great on the plane - he slept for the last 75 minutes until we approached Brisbane which was experiencing thunderstorms. We had to circle for a while and then when the pilots got the green light they descended rather quickly - which woke Ezra and he started crying with sore ears. Mum and Dad tried to give him a bottle or something to chew on but he was too upset by then. It only lasted a few minutes (seemed longer) and we were finally on the tarmac. While the electrical storm was around local airport rules prohibited ground staff to approach the planes so we sat there for a while. Ezra had great fun watching the planes land and pointing at the other planes lined up. We finally disembarked and used a borrowed fold-up baby stroller which was brilliant (thanks Sharla and Jack!) Our lollies and biscuits made it through Customs (yay) and we passed through the glass doors to see the Haynes' cheery and welcoming faces!

And what did we pick up for dinner on our way home: Red Rooster of course!!
