Daily Update

Greeting all! We're here in sunny NZ. The weather is beautiful - if not, just wait for five minutes, it'll change back. Here's what we've been up to so far:

Day 1: Saturday
The Qantas flight was delayed. Surprise, surprise. We went slightly mental stocking up on duty-free, c'est la vie! The flight was fine, we made up lots of time int he air. Arrived in Auckland, found the car and we were on our way.

First stop was to Duncan & Julie's house - parents of our friends who have always said "If you want somewhere to stay..." so this time, we did. Lovely people, we felt very welcome.

After a quick drink and bag drop-off, we scooted over to Aden & Fiona's house. A&F are old TV buddies of Mike's. Their little dude was already asleep, but we had a lovely dinner. Lots of gas-bagging about people I've never heard of :) I spent most of the night trying to keep up with the name mentioning and trying to finish the little new All Black's set.

Back to D&J's, we crept in VERY late and snuck up to our room. M fell asleep, but I got comfy and continued knitting. At 3am Mike woke up and encouraged me to come to bed.

Got to go, I've got a kiwifruit cocktail waiting for me...
