Airports

And just to finish off the weekend's stories I thought I'd share a couple of photos of the airports I went through.

This is the view from the waiting area at the New Plymouth airport. If you look at the horizon really carefully (click on the picture to enlarge it) you might just be able to make out a blue sparkly line. That's the Tasman Sea. Yup, the airport is right on the coast, with only a strip of grass and sand between the tarmac and the water.

And when you land in Auckland and have to go between domestic and international you can either catch the free shuttle or walk. If you walk all you have to do is follow the blue line on the pavement. Even without the helpful signage it's hard to lose your way.
