By 10:30am today everyone had gathered at Wellington Airport for the flight to Auckland. All our personal bags and additional band gear was loaded up onto the baggage conveyor taking into account the amount of extra luggage. This was a bit of a juggling act to ensure we individually kept within the limits and the staff @ Air New Zealand were very accommodating.
After grabbing a coffee we set off just before 1:00pm and we didn’t linger too long upon our arrival at Auckland as our connecting flight to Singapore was due to leave @ 3:15pm.
Then it was movie time, sleep time or music time (which ever took your fancy) as we settled in for the long haul flight to Changi Airport.
For some of us we were able to get a bit of a kip while on the flight, but for many they took in the on-flight entertainment, catching up on some of the reasonably recent movie releases.
Upon our arrival we gathered all our gear and after clearing customs were greeted by the Singapore Central Corps Officer, Major Mark Hall who loaded us onto the appropriate coaches. After dropping off all of the band instruments and gear at the Corps we headed for a much needed bed at the Days Hotel at Zhongshan Park. All in all a full-on day of travel.
Tomorrow we get into the swing of things with two concerts; one in the late morning and the other in the evening. 😊
