So yesterday was our first full day in the North Island. Mainly we spent it wandering around Auckland and window shopping. Auckland is a massive city, and acts like it. We've discovered its a money pit and charges UK prices for pretty much everything. But we did have a nice wander around and 'Accidentally' fell into a bar (5 quid a pint!). We also found the rugby shop and managed to resist buying anything (yet). We had definately jet lag yesterday and I kept falling asleep, Faye kept kicking me in the ankle.
Today was the real start of our holiday, off to see things. So this morning we got on the coach to Paihia (pronounced Pee ahh haa) which is in North Land. The coach took 4 hours with Jeff the camp driver. Mum would have hated the trip up, lots of stunning drops into tree filled holes. Very pretty. We are now on the coast in the Bay of Islands and are off to make our dinner and drown it in wine. Then off to watch a band in the bar next door. Tomorrow we are off to Cape Rianga and 90 mile beach for sand boarding and a bar-b-que on the beach, and snorkalling on Sunday. Its going to be a good few days. Its rained a little but its hot and the sun finally came out this arvo.
Tell you all about the trip tomorrow evening.
Love you all
Tui and Kiwi
PS. Sharon and Piers, thanks for the speaker, it sounds great out on the veranda :-)
