Yay! We arrived safe and sound in Auckland - on the North Island! We have been doing a lot of wondering around the city exploring and SLEEPING off jet lag :)! It is 9 am on Thursday here in NZ and for you guys it's the late afternoon on Wednesday...so weird!
Our favorite thing so far was not a sight to see or landmark or park or anything it was a lady named Robyn. When Jessie and I arrived at our hostel on Tuesday morning our room was not ready which was not good as all we wanted to do was get in bed!!
So we walked down to a park near the harbour to kill time and saw the cutest dog and started petting it - I miss you, Juelp :)! - and the owner came over and started talking to us asking us where we are from, etc and she invited us over for tea at her house! Robyn was SO sweet! She made us tea and told us all about places we need to see here in NZ. And she invited us back for a "barbeque" at her house when we come back to Auckland to fly out! Isn't that so sweet?! It made ou day and was an AMAZING first impression of NZ!
Gotta run - we are cathing a shuttle to the airport to fly down to the South Island -Christchurch, here we come :)!
We love you guys and miss you!
Alley and Jessie
