So I am in transit to my next big adventure in the UK. I flew from Wellington to Auckland with Air NZ leaving at the ungodly hour of 6:30am. I didn't go to bed until 1:30am the night before and had to be up at 3am. I was dead on my feet all day, I still vaguely resemble a zombie.
From Auckland I flew with Singapore Airlines to Singapore. Can't rate this airline highly enough. They generously offered me 5kg extra of baggage allowance for free because of the nature of my new job. The service on board is impeccable and the food is delicious as far as plane food goes.
I am now wasting time at Singapore Changi Airport until my next flight at 1:15am local time. It has been a few years since I've transited through this airport but it is every bit as great as I remembered. I am currently sitting in an indoor garden type set up which has plenty of comfortable sofas and seats with USB and universal plug ins. The wifi access here is unlimited and fairly easy to connect to, just go to a kiosk, scan your passport and receive a code. Handy hint: if you have more than one passport scan them both so you get two codes. The codes are only valid on one device, handy if you want to do some snapchatting and use your laptop. There is a ladies "powder room" with mirrors, changing rooms and seats, perfect for freshening up between flights. This airport also has a pool, a pay in lounge and a transit hotel. Plenty to keep you occupied on long transfers!
I am looking forward to a decent sleep on my next flight, I have some zopiclone left over from my hospital stay so might use that to help. I got about 5 hours sleep on my last flight but given I'd had a total of 7 hours sleep in the 48 hours leading up to my departure I definitely need more rest!
Happy wandering x
