New Zealand continued....

We arrived in Auckland after an hour flight to find it was much warmer here compared to Wellington, wahooo!! ....but still cold dont get me wrong, just more like home now, so we can cope with that!!
We have been staying with Amys cousin Damien and his partner Jenny who have been lovely! and I have my own bedroom :) seriously it is pure luxury not having to share with loads of strangers, is lovely not having to eat blooming noodles everyday for lunch and dinner and the luxury of having a TV!!Wow we have been happy just staying in a chilling everyday :)

We went away with Amys Aunt and Uncle for 4 days to the country south of Auckland to their beach house and it was amazing! The views along the way were unreal, the greenery everywhere, the sea, everything I cant explain but was literally breathtaking! (God I sound like an oldie dont I! hee hee) so we stayed in their place and got fed like royalty, chicken, duck, bolognase, potatoes, chocolate cake (all things we cant afford!!) and pretty much relaxed and took in the scenery. Ooooh and we got to have a ride on Rons (Amys uncle) tractor!! we went down to the beach on it and all had a drive, was fun! We're such big kids!!

Apart from that we have been to Auckland City (which is 10 mins bus ride from us) god knows how many times walking up and down looking for work but realise this may be quite hard as we dont have working visas! and didnt realise how strict they would be!!

We're planning to explore a bit in the next few days, so gonna rent a car and visit places where Lord of the Rings was filmed, see lakes, hot springs and apparently dolphins :) Will update again soon. Oooh and Im blonde again thanks to Nic :) xxx
