Closer it is to a 180 degree journey the wilder the fluctuations can be. These are shortest routes to Auckland.
Seville, Cordoba, Malaga and Tangier are all close to each other but their shortest great circles to Auckland are practically at 90 degrees to each other.

Giraffes would totally fail the marshmallow test. You can feed them, and as long as you are feeding them you can pet them, etc., but if the food stops, even briefly, then they wander off and apparently forget the food ever existed.
A man on a balcony holds a giraffe treat between his lips, a giraffe (standing at the foot of the balcony) is licking it out.

booking.com helpfully offers an "upgrade". It's exactly the same except it allows smoking and is more expensive. Non-smoking was a requirement in my original search.
