Just to let you know that we arrived safe and sound in New Zealand two days ago.
After a lift to Brisbane airport and a three hour flight, we arrived at Auckland airport where we were picked up by someone from our car hire company. He took us to their offices where we picked up our car, and then we drove to the house of G and Lou, friends of our good kiwi friend, Adam, who we used to share a house with.
Yesterday we spent the day getting oriented, and doing some necessary stuff. Then we cooked a meal for G and Lou and met their seven-month-old son, Jack.
Today we have been to Auckland Museum, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Now we are here at a local shopping mall, this evening going to the beach for fish and chips!
We'll be in Auckland for another day or two before we start making our way south. We hope to cover plenty of the country in the four weeks we have here.
I forgot to send out a notification email after I did the last update from Aus, so you might want to take a look at the previous entry, which is the diary of our last few days in Australia.
More soon!
I also forgot to update the list of birds that we spotted in Australia, but as I'm at a public access computer I hope you won't mind if I leave it until we have a little more time! By the time we left Aus, we were up to 232 species in total!
OK, bye for now!
