They say the kiwis are a flightless bird

Sooooo, nothing is easy! After yesterday today became more of a challenge.

As the hospital doctor filled in the form, absolving him from any responsibility saying an aeromedical opinion is needed, Qatar airlines has asked for clarication.

Russ emailed the doctor, who didn’t respond – so we bowled down to the hospital and waited! For a couple of hours! Finally the ward doctor came out and told us he will not charge his statement! Stalemate! And a number of other expletives that cannot be written!

We are going to try a local doctor tomorrow and see if we have any luck as we need more medication (the hospital would only give us 5 days). So they have done their job and don’t want to see us again.

After holding back the tears! We returned home and first beer at 3.30pm…picked myself up and have investigated railway and bunny hopping flights to get home and we have a plan.

NZ embassy will be the next port of call to help with visas if we need to railway it through Russia to China. The trans Siberian railway was always on Russ’s bucket list and he might get his wish!

So another roadblock in our adventures, but we will get home one way or another!

No pictures as you don’t want to see my grumpy face ……
