Stranded in Samoa

Its amazing what damage a bird can do, the feathered kind. One flew into the engine of the plane I was meant to be on leaving Samoa, and grounded the aircraft ‘indefinitely’. One very dead, silly bird.

Turns out that 'indefinitely' was really just as long as another plane from New Zealand could arrive, some 17 hours later. It is a reminder that I really am far from a large chunk of land. In the meantime I get put up in a fancy pancy hotel, watching the pacific waves crash, savouring the sun.

Thanks bird!!
