Kia Ora from Auckland

---

Greetings from New Zealand,

We had a super quick flight from Fiji to Auckland today that included a spectacular breakfast (eggs, hash browns and sausage). We checked into a hostel right in the middle of the action in downtown Auckland. We spent the day exploring and checking out various places we found along the way. Sky tower bungy jumping is still a maybe :S.

We're off to the Bay of islands area tomorrow so we likely won't have internet to update everyone but we still love you.

We're really looking forward to our time in New Zealand and we have lots planned. Our next adventure involves a week of surfing right near the area where the World under 18 surfing championships appear to be taking place (nearby at least, we've seen a bunch of signs). Then it's off to see the various sites of the North island and hopefully meet up with some people along the way.

We hope everything is going well at home for each and every one of you, and hope you all keep us posted.

PEACE
