Auckland and our first dip in the Pacific

Touched down in Auckland last night, and it was lovely to be greeted by Jo & John. We actually managed to stay awake quite late too, although still didn't manage to sleep all night! Maybe tonight...


Got up early this morning to a lovely view over Browns Bay, we headed out for a little walk as it was very early and funnily stumbled upon this:







After breakfast we all headed down to Longbay Beach for a splash and game of frisbee, and the finale of the Browns Bay Ultimate Deathball playoff (John and Hugh - rolling a ball in leisurely fashion to score points - rather over zealously named, but I feel it might make a come back later in the week!)




Tomorrow we pick up the van and head south ...
