Introduction to today's journey
Today's journey starts in my home city Brisbane, Australia, and crosses the South Pacific Ocean towards South America. I briefly stop in Auckland, New Zealand, then start the long journey across the loneliest stretch of ocean on the planet before eventually landing in Santiago, Chile.
Today's Journey
 |
Departing home in Brisbane whilst it is still dark. |
 |
Flying above the city just minutes after taking off on the first leg towards Auckland. |
 |
Above the clouds approaching the coast as we start crossing the Tasman Sea. |
 |
Large banks of cloud build over the Tasman Sea to slowly approach New Zealand bringing rain in a few days. |
 |
Flying over Elizabeth Reef nearly half way across the Tasman Sea. |
 |
Flying over the Manukau Heads as we descend into Auckland. |
 |
In Auckland Airport for a couple of hours with the plane outside soon to board. |
 |
Crossing the International Date Line back into yesterday evening as we fly across the Pacific Ocean towards Santiago. |
 |
Having crossed the loneliest section of ocean where old satellites are crashed into the ocean, we approach the South American coastline in the late morning. |
 |
Landed, through customs and now relaxing in the hotel across the road from Santiago Airport. It is about 3:00 in the afternoon about 10 hours time difference from home, so I'm ready to sleep now. |
