Napier to Wellington
My flight was a 9 o'clock flight from Napier to Wellington. I asked the reception to book a taxi from my accommodation for the airport on the day before my departure. Because there was no public transportation for the airport.

Entrance of the Napier airport.

A airport control tower in the distance...it was very small!

The airport was very tiny and there were only two check-in counters. However, it was spacious and comfortable inside the terminal building.

Gate!
When I checked in my baggage at the counter, a ground agent said "Please wait for the boarding announcement at the passenger lobby. Your gate is Gate2". I wondered how many gates there were and went to find the gates.

This was the "Gate1"!
center:
"Gate2"!!
right:
"Gate3, Gate4 and Gate5"!!! It seemed like bus stops lined at the station road.

The aircraft, which I was supposed to board, made a landing on time. It looked like a pretty small plane which I had thought....
right:
I could see my bag being loaded on the plane. I hadn't seen such a scene like this before. I didn't have to worry about lost baggage!!

I enjoyed the wonderful view from a window at first. But as we approached Wellington the pitching got gradually worse. I'd heard that Wellington was well-known as a windy city. And the dark clouds were hanging low in the sky. I hoped that the weather wouldn't get any more worse!
