Unfortunately, our flight home has been delayed by four hours.
Fortunately, we found out early this morning so we were able to organise a late check out. Unfortunately, the delayed flight means we can’t get back home tonight, as we’ll miss the last flight out of Auckland. Fortunately, we were able to book a hotel at the airport overnight. Unfortunately, that means catching the red eye in the morning so Simon can get to work on time.
Fortunately, our late check out meant I could go for another snorkeling trip this morning, and it was the best yet: a white tipped reef shark, lobsters, and great visibility. Unfortunately, I got that tingling feeling again, this time on my face and lips. Fortunately, I spotted and managed to avoid two small clouds of sea lice. They were indeed very distinctive, so I’m pretty sure it’s the little jellyfish that are stinging me, not those.
Everyone else in our group has felt the little tingles whilst out swimming, but I’m the only one who has reacted. If the ones on my face go off the way the ones on my hands did, it’s going to be truly awful. Not only will I look like a smallpox victim, it’s going to really hurt. There’s nothing I can do about it now except wait.
