Day 0 - Dunedin -Wellington -Auckland -Osaka -Nara


Aside from a surprise breakfast-in-bed from your loved one, I think I have discovered the nicest thing anyone can do for you before 7 o'clock in the morning;

"...aahhh, Miss Andersen, it looks like we have upgraded you to business class."

I didn't actually think this really happened - I can now confirm it is not just and urban legend! I was lucky enough to get an upgrade on an 11 hour flight that went right through the day.

It was a very nice way to start my time on this month-long course on conservation of wooden architecture in Nara, the ancient capital of Japan.

I can't think of a better way to begin a long flight!

D woke up when you called to let me know about the " ... Miss Andersen" good news ...
The way we were chattering and babbling about how great and exciting and fantastic it was - he thought someone had called to say that a baby had been born!
Your photos are amazing - I'm looking forward to seeing more over the next month! Take care cx
