Tuakau Hotel is another option just on the Waikato side of the border. Won some awards after its makeover so not too crummy. The town itself I can't sell too much though.

I thought they had put the checkpoint at the bridge?

They moved them.

No, No, No. I have had turkey bacon (because Muslims aren't into pork). It really does have to be pig, nothing else works.

@voodoo Tension is building.

Update - we have crossed the border and made it to the airport. Boarding passes in hand, waiting to go through security.

Must be at least 50/50 odds to make it now...

This kind of like a movie where the spy is trying to skip the country and avoid the KGB ...

The tension is palpable.

he's in a shitty hotel in Western Sydney somewhere. The kids are already bored and hungry. And he is hating his life choices.

We may have found the first person to ever miss Palmerston North

I'm aliiiiive!!!!!!!

All went pretty smooth in the end. Up at 4am, easy drive to Akl, 5mins wait with the police at the border.

All the airline staff were awesome, plane totally empty, and the pokice and army at the Sydney end were all great.

Ended up at the Meriton Suites in the CBD - 2 bed, 2 bath, 3 tv apartment on the 29th floor, ocean glimpses west and north, city views south,and a balcony with real fresh air. Really cant complain!

Aside from the fucken NBA being cancelled of course!!!
