Yesterday was not that good, weatherwise. It poured down rain, all day long. So no Sky Jump for me! Seriously I wanted to do it! We walked around the city all day! But it' s not taht of an interesting place to do a lot... the beaches and islands around Auckland would be awesome, if the sun would shine! Our last days in NZ are spent with typical Kiwi weather. :-(

Oh well, last night we cooked a German meal for the Kiwis. Oh, you all stop laughing...! Everyone is still alive and no, I won' t cook when I am back! Sorry! ;-)
We thought it's just gonna be just us stayinga the house, but Elaine invited her son and his wife over as well, plus the Japanese student was still spending the night, so it was 7 people in total. Oh oh! We decided on making Rouladen with potato mash.... yummy... never made that one and not for 7 people!! After we stormed through the NZ supermarket in the search of all the ingredients, thanks to the Dr Oetker' s english version of a German cookbook that was at the house already - we rushed to the house to find everyone already sitting at the table waiting for us. So, this time we were the next Jamie Olivers cooking show! :-) Nothing burnt down... and seriously it really tasted good. They even wanted seconds. :-) For desert we made vanilla ice cream with hot boysenberries... yummy! The chocolate cake we had for the Japanese girl' s birthday was rather interesting! We also sang a happy birthday to her!

Tonite we' ll get some real Kiwi food.
