Kevin Milners kicking us 7 00:00:23,053 --> 00:00:24,453 Speaker 2: off for our Saturday heer. 8 00:00:24,293 --> 00:00:28,173 Speaker 3: Kevinder Jack, I love that story about the about the 9 00:00:28,213 --> 00:00:33,373 Speaker 3: wooden bench, And you're right, I mean, so it ended 10 00:00:33,453 --> 00:00:36,733 Speaker 3: up on the beach just along from us. I suppose 11 00:00:36,853 --> 00:00:38,653 Speaker 3: when I say just so long, it's about a killometer 12 00:00:38,733 --> 00:00:43,093 Speaker 3: away from where we are. But what a wonderful thing 13 00:00:43,133 --> 00:00:45,693 Speaker 3: that a woman who first saw it sort of raised 14 00:00:45,733 --> 00:00:49,813 Speaker 3: the alarm. Yeah, this is important because it may have 15 00:00:49,893 --> 00:00:52,573 Speaker 3: only been there for a beef, for a head off 16 00:00:52,573 --> 00:00:53,053 Speaker 3: somewhere else. 17 00:00:53,133 --> 00:00:56,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, yeah, yeah, there's nothing to say that 18 00:00:56,253 --> 00:00:59,613 Speaker 2: the journey would have ended there if people hadn't stepped in. Yeah, 19 00:00:59,613 --> 00:01:01,893 Speaker 2: it is an amazing story. It's one of those funny things. 20 00:01:01,893 --> 00:01:05,933 Speaker 2: So my you might remember when I was at home 21 00:01:06,413 --> 00:01:09,533 Speaker 2: my parents place in Golden Bay and Collingwood a couple 22 00:01:09,573 --> 00:01:12,493 Speaker 2: of Christmases ago, on a really really clear day, we 23 00:01:12,493 --> 00:01:16,733 Speaker 2: were sitting outside having lunch and in the far off distance, 24 00:01:16,773 --> 00:01:19,373 Speaker 2: my brother in law said, there's Mount Tartanuki and we 25 00:01:19,373 --> 00:01:21,453 Speaker 2: were like no, no, no, no, And then we're like, ah, 26 00:01:21,493 --> 00:01:23,613 Speaker 2: how on that is there's Mount Tartanuck. We got out 27 00:01:23,613 --> 00:01:26,013 Speaker 2: a little telescope and yep, it was Mount Tartanuki. And 28 00:01:26,053 --> 00:01:28,613 Speaker 2: it's very easy to forget that the top of the 29 00:01:28,613 --> 00:01:30,613 Speaker 2: South Island. You know, we in our minds we kind 30 00:01:30,653 --> 00:01:32,973 Speaker 2: of think of the North Island being directly north of 31 00:01:32,973 --> 00:01:36,293 Speaker 2: the South Island, but actually the top of the South 32 00:01:36,333 --> 00:01:39,693 Speaker 2: Island sits off due west of the lower part of 33 00:01:39,733 --> 00:01:43,013 Speaker 2: the North Island, right, So this bench has actually it's 34 00:01:43,053 --> 00:01:45,773 Speaker 2: gone down the Tarcica River, it's gone into Golden Bay, 35 00:01:45,973 --> 00:01:49,933 Speaker 2: and then it's headed due west, albeit slowly, right across 36 00:01:49,973 --> 00:01:52,453 Speaker 2: Cook straight as opposed to going north. So yeah, it's 37 00:01:52,493 --> 00:01:54,413 Speaker 2: an amazing journey. It's such a good story. 38 00:01:54,533 --> 00:01:57,253 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a great story. And because we sit 39 00:01:57,573 --> 00:02:00,333 Speaker 3: in our house here and we and look directly west 40 00:02:00,653 --> 00:02:03,253 Speaker 3: to Australia if you like. Yeah, but in the middle 41 00:02:03,293 --> 00:02:06,613 Speaker 3: there there's the top end of the marlbra Sounds right 42 00:02:06,613 --> 00:02:07,173 Speaker 3: across from us. 43 00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:09,573 Speaker 2: Yes, so can you see island? 44 00:02:10,173 --> 00:02:12,813 Speaker 3: Yes, very well? If that last night was a cracker 45 00:02:12,933 --> 00:02:17,173 Speaker 3: night for Durval Island and then Steven's Island on top 46 00:02:17,213 --> 00:02:17,453 Speaker 3: of that. 47 00:02:17,773 --> 00:02:20,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh how good? Yeah, are you very latey Kevin. Yeah, 48 00:02:20,613 --> 00:02:22,253 Speaker 2: I thought it would be making making a bit of 49 00:02:22,253 --> 00:02:25,373 Speaker 2: a splash along the Carpitol coast, so I expected you 50 00:02:25,373 --> 00:02:27,053 Speaker 2: would have all the details for us. But you were 51 00:02:27,053 --> 00:02:28,853 Speaker 2: offering some travel advice this morning. 52 00:02:29,573 --> 00:02:32,213 Speaker 3: Yeah. You learn new things every time you travel, and 53 00:02:32,373 --> 00:02:34,653 Speaker 3: what I learned on our recent trip to London was 54 00:02:34,693 --> 00:02:37,293 Speaker 3: the better way to book your flights. As you know, 55 00:02:37,493 --> 00:02:39,533 Speaker 3: you book a flight within New Zealand. If you go 56 00:02:39,613 --> 00:02:42,213 Speaker 3: to London, you book a flight with the New Zealand 57 00:02:42,293 --> 00:02:44,973 Speaker 3: stad of Singapore maybe Hong Kong, and then the New 58 00:02:45,053 --> 00:02:48,693 Speaker 3: Zealand's partner airline will take over on their aircraft and 59 00:02:48,773 --> 00:02:52,933 Speaker 3: fly from Singapore onto London. We had a magnificent flight 60 00:02:53,053 --> 00:02:56,573 Speaker 3: on the New Zealand Singapore leg and the Singapore New 61 00:02:56,693 --> 00:02:59,693 Speaker 3: Zealand flight on the way back because we were on 62 00:02:59,773 --> 00:03:04,093 Speaker 3: board in New Zealand's aircraft, the Dreamliner. This is a 63 00:03:04,093 --> 00:03:08,973 Speaker 3: big new aircraft with all the latest tech in New Zealand, 64 00:03:08,973 --> 00:03:14,013 Speaker 3: with the best airline by miles, terrific cabin crew, up 65 00:03:14,053 --> 00:03:17,733 Speaker 3: to date screens and seats, great food. But when we 66 00:03:17,773 --> 00:03:21,493 Speaker 3: switched to Singapore Airlines to flood it from Singapore to London, 67 00:03:21,773 --> 00:03:24,213 Speaker 3: we are on one of their old Triple sevens with 68 00:03:24,333 --> 00:03:28,733 Speaker 3: scruffy vanishings, outdated screens, et cetera. And the cabin crews 69 00:03:28,773 --> 00:03:31,613 Speaker 3: seemed to know it. You felt their morale was low. 70 00:03:31,973 --> 00:03:35,093 Speaker 3: It's sort of like working in an old shop that 71 00:03:36,413 --> 00:03:40,173 Speaker 3: needed a bit of a liquor paint. Same coming back 72 00:03:40,173 --> 00:03:44,333 Speaker 3: from a tired old Triple seven. Again, no excitement on board. 73 00:03:44,533 --> 00:03:47,133 Speaker 3: So what I learned was that when you're booking long 74 00:03:47,213 --> 00:03:51,133 Speaker 3: haul flights, find out what type of aircraft you'll be 75 00:03:51,173 --> 00:03:54,013 Speaker 3: flying in. If I'd known that, I'd made sure we 76 00:03:54,053 --> 00:03:57,373 Speaker 3: were on Dreamliners all the way. Cathay PACIFICA. I don't 77 00:03:57,373 --> 00:04:01,213 Speaker 3: think have Dreamliners yet, but Singapore Airlines does, and with 78 00:04:01,293 --> 00:04:04,213 Speaker 3: a bit of fiddling around, we could have flown on 79 00:04:04,373 --> 00:04:09,173 Speaker 3: new Dreamliners all the way. Anyway, that's my trouble advice, 80 00:04:09,333 --> 00:04:12,053 Speaker 3: find out what the aircraft you're going to be flying on. 81 00:04:12,453 --> 00:04:16,093 Speaker 3: And the final thing, Jack, I intentionally book daytime flights 82 00:04:16,133 --> 00:04:19,213 Speaker 3: as much as possible. I like flying with the sun 83 00:04:19,293 --> 00:04:22,413 Speaker 3: coming in, but as soon as everyone's settled us down 84 00:04:22,493 --> 00:04:26,253 Speaker 3: after lunch down, come, all the shutters, out, go the 85 00:04:26,373 --> 00:04:30,333 Speaker 3: lights and everyone goes to sleep. What is that all. 86 00:04:30,213 --> 00:04:34,733 Speaker 2: About, isn't it? Because don't they say the best the 87 00:04:34,773 --> 00:04:37,013 Speaker 2: best thing to do if you're traveling on a long 88 00:04:37,093 --> 00:04:40,493 Speaker 2: haul is to immediately start to try and adapt to 89 00:04:40,533 --> 00:04:43,733 Speaker 2: the time where you're arriving. And I think that's what 90 00:04:43,773 --> 00:04:46,293 Speaker 2: they do with the Dreamliner, right, so they say, for example, 91 00:04:46,373 --> 00:04:49,973 Speaker 2: if you're flying to the US into the West Coast, 92 00:04:50,013 --> 00:04:52,853 Speaker 2: they'll say, okay, what's the time there right now, we'll 93 00:04:52,853 --> 00:04:55,213 Speaker 2: try and set the lighting so that it matches that. 94 00:04:55,453 --> 00:04:58,253 Speaker 2: The problem is when you then get in reverse. You know, 95 00:04:58,293 --> 00:05:00,453 Speaker 2: if you're going and people are pulling down the blinds 96 00:05:00,813 --> 00:05:02,973 Speaker 2: when it's the middle of the daytime in your destination, 97 00:05:03,133 --> 00:05:03,893 Speaker 2: that's the problem. 98 00:05:04,693 --> 00:05:09,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yes, And so you get into the awkward 99 00:05:09,173 --> 00:05:12,013 Speaker 3: situation you want to read your book and everybody else 100 00:05:12,053 --> 00:05:15,253 Speaker 3: wants to sleep and you're the only You feel very 101 00:05:15,253 --> 00:05:17,453 Speaker 3: self conscious the fact that you're the only one but 102 00:05:17,533 --> 00:05:20,293 Speaker 3: their light on. Yeah, and so you turn it off 103 00:05:20,333 --> 00:05:22,493 Speaker 3: and try to get to sleep yourself. So it's kind 104 00:05:22,493 --> 00:05:25,413 Speaker 3: of a weird thing that, but you've probably got the 105 00:05:25,453 --> 00:05:26,053 Speaker 3: answer to it. 106 00:05:26,013 --> 00:05:28,413 Speaker 2: There and won Yeah, are you hitt into the game tonight. 107 00:05:29,213 --> 00:05:31,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, hell yeah, I'll be there, don't you worry. 108 00:05:31,933 --> 00:05:34,373 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's going to be so exciting.
