It is Tuesday morning as I write this, as texted to various phones yesterday we arrived in NZ without any issues (but 40 min early!!).

We explored Auckland yesterday (Jody got many photos of her at various starbucks :) (per my earlier blog)) - Auckland feels like a cross between Vancouver and San Francisco (but clean and with no homeless people). We also visited some local beaches- a good first day.

It is raining today but it is fairly light and the plan is to do so some light hiking and see some of the west coast beaches. Tomorrow we pick up the camper and the next phase of our adventure begins!!!

We will email/blog as we can- luckily the friends of Jody we are staying with have wifi.
