One of THOSE days

I suppose when you're travelling you need to expect to have one of THOSE days at some point, and today, or yesterday, or this period of 24 hours (I'm a little tired) definitely qualifies. Although saying that, there have been a few minor ups in with the downs, so probably could be called a roller coaster, although given those are supposed to be fun, not sure it's entirely appropriate, but anyway, I digress.....
We boarded our 23.00 flight from Santiago to Auckland last night having flown up from Southern Chile a few hours earlier. When we got onto the runway we idled for a very long time before an announcement told us we were heading back to the stand due to a problem with the air conditioning. After a while on the stand they unloaded us.
At 01.45 they told us ( in Spanish only) our flight was not leaving until 19.00 the next day.
They then had to go through hundreds of immigration forms to reunite them with their owners and void our passport stamps as we'd essentially left Chile at that point and they needed to get us back in.
Laughably we then had to re-enter Chile including customs even though we'd never left.
We then stood in a queue for many hours to get a bus to the Sheraton in the city.
About 06.00 we checked in for the night (!).
We ignored the free breakfast and slept through until 12.30 ( despite having to have checked out by 12.00 oops), then ate an actually very nice free buffet lunch.
Got back on the bus to the airport. Now this is where we got a little luck- because we only had backpacks they squeezed us on to the first bus to fill space. We then shot through check in as the huge (400pax) queue built up behind us.
As we had missed our onward flight to Christchurch we planned to head into the lounge with the use of our airport angel cards ( perk of Barclays current account) to use their wifi to re-book.
On arrival we got told they no longer accepted airport angel cards- boo!
But we managed to piggy back on some free wifi instead ( which we think was coming through someone's android phone)- yay!
But then they got on a plane and we lost the wifi-boo!
But then one of our devices only has managed to find another free wifi- yay!
We managed to book another flight to Christchurch- yay!
But it is double the price of the last one - boo!
And here we sit, staring up at the departures board where it currently says tonight's rescheduled 19.00 flight is already delayed to 23.20, we're hoping it's a typo, but given it's one of THOSE days, you never know.....
