After 2 days in the air (left on 31st Oct, landed on 2nd Nov), we arrived in NZ, have to say after loads of comfortable buses in South America it felt very squashed on the plane, but at least there was no turbulance. It feels alot like home with all the greenery and the rain!!
Auckland is quiet a nice city, but there a bit too obsessed with their sky tower
. Day one we did a 16k walk around the city called "coast to coast" which was a good way to see the old volcanic craters and get our bearings around the city. Other than that we were a bit jet lagged so mostly had early nights. On the news front, Orla invested in a much needed pair of jeans as her old favourites were literaly falling apart, she no longer gets dirty looks walking into shops (even the poor kids in SA thought she was as poor as them with holes in her clothes!!).

Allegedly NZ has 39m sheep it wasnt very practical to take a photo of all of them so here the first of many weve seen so far!!!A Kiwi we met in Ecuador (Heather), generously offered to bring us on a roadtrip to the Northland, so off we went for a few days without buses.
