Outbound flight with Emirates, Dubai – Rome with the A380 (yeah, the one with double deck) with bar service throughout the flight, then the route Dubai – Kuala Lumpur – Melbourne, where we spent a few hours and then from Melbourne to Auckland. Arrival at the airport, photo rite under the sails that are the symbol of the airport. Transfer to the offices of the Apex Car Rental service where we picked up the car that will take us around the two islands of New Zealand. The first stop in Hamilton where we stop to rest and restore from the time gap due to the timezone with a good night’s sleep. The cold icing our car during the night (a beautifully serene starry night) the temperature drops well below zero.
