Back in New Zealand

Hey we're back - in fact we've been in Auckland now for 4 days. The flight was not too bad, managed to get a few sleeps inbetween meals. Our arrival into Auckland was amazing because we flew over Pt Chev, the city and out to the Hauraki Gulf and Waiheke. The day was superb with sunny blue skies, deep green land and calm clear waters - what a welcome. Dan and Nita were there to meet us which was just neat....so much to talk about and catch up on. A deleicious home cooked meal by Jo and a glass or 2 of NZ red wine topped off a fantastic welcome home.
The next morning was warm and sunny, we enjoyed a walk down to the local shops to buy fresh fruit and veg, what a treat. Brian says it's not too cold - I disagree with this statement - I'm very cold most of the time (except when the sun's out and I'm sitting in it) and have been sitting over the heater or fire. I'm enjoying the electric blanket.
Okiato tomorrow with Phil and Linda - we need tennants.
