The first of many landings at Wellington airport.
Having spent my first week in Auckland this week saw me heading on a ‘ticky tour’ to Christchurch and Wellington where Telecom has large offices .
Christchurch is the home of Telecom’s call centre and is where inbound email form the website is managed. Wellington on the other hand is where the majority of the digital team. To a person they are very welcoming, so welcoming in fact that they send me a link to a youtube montage of Wellington airport landings to prepare me for my visit – Wellington airport is famous for its short runway, powerful cross-winds and ‘white-knuckle’ landings. My landing in Wellington proves uneventful apart from the visual spectacle of generally white wooden houses hugging bush-clad hills that is the Wellington vista.
I need to find a house. I also need to find a school. And they need to be of a standard which does not trigger homesickness in my wife and children and a desire to knock it all on the head and return back to the UK before we’ve even started.
