Day 4

Today was my second day of work and my first time to really see the sun. I woke up and it was finally okay to use the fridge since it had been airing out for about 12 hours. I’ve got the bus system down now, so I won’t have to leave at 8:40 to be at work by 9:30!! I could actually work today...

Day 3 - First Day of Work

I woke up at 6:30 this morning, obviously too afraid to go back to sleep (I might not wake up to my alarm). I called my mom, got dressed and set out to figure out the bus system. When I finally asked someone where the office was and figured out how the heck to find DOCNZ, I was so relieved but...

Day 2

Well I woke up this morning at about 9 to get ready for church...and it was raining uncontrollably outside. I also didn't realize the extreme amount of exercise I got last night walking around for 4 hrs up and down the hills of the Auckland streets. I could barely get out of bed. The church...

Day 1

Parlez-Vous Francais? Akaroa & Christchurch (May 25 to May 31)

Travelling is full of surprises. For instance, I had not heard about a nearby French settlement named Akaroa when I visited Christchurch with my rugby team in April. My cousin, 'Andy' (Andrea), in Dunedin told us about it and said that it was a "must see". We consulted our Lonely Planet guide...

Chillin' in Hawke's Bay

Chillin' in Hawke's Bay and sressin' on the coast highway... Everyone needs to take a break, even when they're travelling, and find a sanctuary for some solitude and sense of space. It was a 'no brainer' to choose Victoria's sister city, Napier, renown for its Art Deco architecture, as the...

What we get up to!

We have been here 3 1/2 months and posted a few entries. I have decided to try some with just text and forego the pictures everytime. I may be more likely to do this that way. We made a list one night at our local ( down the road) pub called the Celtic Arms. The list was topics for blogs. So i...
