Leg 3 : Hawaii to Auckland, via Sydney - 6413 miles

Due to the lack of direct flights, we flew to Auckland, New Zealand from Honolulu, Hawaii via Sydney, Australia:

It was 5071 miles from Honolulu to Sydney, and then another 1342 miles to Auckland.

Time was also a bit messy : we gained 3 hours when we landed in Australia, but then lost 2 of those hours heading east to New Zealand. We also crossed the International Date Line, and so lost 24 hours! We basically didn't have a clue what day it was, never mind the local time!
