Day 7
Day 7
This day didn’t go according to plan. Our noon flight from Rotorua to Queenstown was canceled due to Cyclone Fehi. We caught another flight at 7 PM, but the pilot executed a missed approach due to weather at Queenstown airport, and diverted to Christchurch. Tracey managed to find rooms for us at a hotel and two apartment buildings, but our luggage stayed on the plane. Many, both locals and travelers, had far worse problems that we did - power outages, flooding, closed roads, etc. Tracey did a great job handling the disruptions, and everyone took things in stride, as seasoned travelers.
