It’s a very long way from Ponui to Riyadh.
Ponui is a small island, found just off the coast of Auckland. There,
contacting overseas family often involves trekking up a hill to get the right
kind of coverage. It is quite literally a long distance call. And then, when
the family you’re calling lives in Riyadh, there’s the additional challenge of
timing a call so that both parties are awake.
