missed opportunity

When we flew from New Zealand to Australia, first we flew from Christchurch to Auckland. I was looking forward to getting an aerial view of the country we had seen on the ground.

Unfortunately, the day was rainy and the entire country was covered in clouds. The day was horrible on the ground. It was a bit odd to rise above the clouds and see the sun shine and blue sky. Instead of the view of the NZ landscape, we got a blank canvas of white.
