Day 1 Doodles

Day 1 Wellington Auckland Bangkok Tel Aviv

It is a long day and it is a long way, two 12 hours long haul flights are tiring but it is a treasure to a dedicated “NZ public servant” who only slept less than 9 hours in the past two days. John said I was in sleep coma and yes I slept more than 15 hours. Well here I am 30000 feet above Red Sea writing my day 1 doodles and about 2 hours to the holy land.

Highlight 1: 1st Israel encounter – it is not just an airline it is Israel

We have been thoroughly investigated by an Israel security officer when we were in the transfer counter in Bangkok. Or precisely saying we have been thoroughly and separately investigated by a stern Israel security officer and his not so strict colleague for about 20 minutes. One mid-aged couple from somewhere very near Tel Aviv city centre were standing right behind us, they were irritated by the officers questions and not so friendly manner. They apologised to us on behalf of their people and provided their contact number in Israel, told us if whenever we need help just give them a call. Thanks Ilan and Judy.
