Auckland Waterfront Serviced Apartments

... big 4x4s cruising by, when I saw a sedan like mine and that was all the encouragement I needed! I promptly drove onto the sand, and starting blasting up the beach. It was very surreal to drive on the beach with the crashing ocean just meters away. It was also a lot of fun, right up until the moment I decided to stop and take some photos; that was the moment that the car sank into the sand and became firmly stuck. I'd like to say I handled the situation ...

... scrapped together a small fortune of shrapnel and bought a sandwich to share. Honestly the last 2 hours shouldn't be a judge on the last 2 months in Australia :) .For any plane spotters saw 4 A380 at Sydney airport, the big new double decker jobbers.
Ok I'm boring myself now so I'll wrap this up. The flight was really nice, LJ got to watch the film she keeps going on about something called The Time Travellers Wife and cried at the end. The dude next to us put a fistful of ...

... meinen rucksack gefunden... unglaublich.. hab ich nicht mehr mit gerechnet... (ich war heute schon kurz davor mir ein neues ladegeraet fuers handy zu kaufen)
mein rucksack war anscheinend die ganze zeit in sydney... keine ahnung, warum die das erst jetzt herausgefunden haben... 6 tage spaeter...
in einer stunde soll der hier im hostel ankommen...

vorhin haben wir beide bei einigen wwoofing familien angerufen, damit wir die ...

... a bit pretentious. It may just be those speaking it, but I recall really enjoying it the last time around. 
Speaking of sounds, I must include the sensory update. Currently, I live under a polycarbonate roof, so the heavy rain last night and scampering birds this morning offer quite a delightful sound. Beth claims the honey shed smells vaguely of honey, but I maintain that it smells more of the shed. The residence sits softly on the rim of a very ...

... really. From here I went up Tucker Beach Road to admire the view to Cornonet Peak as it was streaming sun.
After that I went & found a storage facility in the Frankton Industrial area just so I know where It is if I needed to leave the car down south for any extended period. Then from there really it was just getting my stuff sorted, drove back into town again then back to the airport where I went in, checked in and went straight through to the gate. Nice trip back to Auckland ...

... Wanaka. By now you would think that we would be getting sick of these lakes but every single one is stunningly different. So we parked up and had our sarnies in the sun (still out...cant believe it), fed the ducks and then headed to Puzzling World, which really is just puzzling...I lost a few hours of my life confused about things (but I suppose that's not too unusual!!) Then we got ready for the nights entertainment...a night at the cinema, although this is ...

... down south, especially considering that its coming into winter here. We quickly found the sky tower in the heart of the city which is apparently the highest free standing structure in the southern hemisphere. For only $100 you can have the privilege of base jumping off it! Usually when you think of New Zealand you think crazy adventure stuff like bungy, zorbing etc. So when we also found a bungy slingshot in the middle of the city we weren't at all surprised. Having taken ...

... bus as rain started to softly fall. In New Zealand, the only thing that the current state of the weather means is what it won't be in five minutes. As it started to rain I thought about my hike in a down pour and systematically listed things in my pack to judge their waterproof qualities. About halfway through leaders appeared and distinguished themselves as easy, medium, hard, and stream bashing. Slightly curious if stream bashing ...

... don't have our nice handy tripod with us for taking pictures... P.P.S. Despite what it might look like, we HAVE been keeping up-to-date with blog-entries so far. But uploading them requires an internet connection, which is something we don't have every day. This means it might take a few days between each time you see an update here, but then you will have multiple in one go :D
