Some may say argue that a 12 hour layover in Auckland necessitates leaving the airport. Since I was returning to Auckland in 10 days and since I had been traveling like a madman, I decided to spend my half day in the Air Zealand Koru Lounge catching up on life. The first thing I had to do was get an adapter as New Zealand has the weird crooked triangle outlet that my dated adapter does not support. In order to do this, I had to surrender my passport as collateral.
From there I found a day bed and did nothing but eat, drink, shower and sleep. Here’s how it went down in pictures. Note that there aren’t too many photos of food as the selection of edible treats was pretty poor.
