Hello world. After getting more exercise than my body has had for 6 months in the 30 seconds we had to run through Singapore airport, we stayed in a backpackers in Auckland. Then we came straight to Julie's place which is where I am now, in the local library cos the internet is free. We've been on the beach with black sand, walking, eating and generally lounging around gossiping.
We have established that the dogs should not be allowed to drink much sea water again (not without a cork), Kieron does indeed have a guardian angel, Julie has a hefty Beer sensitivity, Ben needs Biocidin, and I can fly to the other side of the world and buy WHATEVER I NEED.
We set off for serious adventure on Thursday, starting with some black water rafting and then a sky dive. (later on Ben has figured out he can save himself a fortune by doing 3 bungees... ok Ben!). While on the subject of Ben, he is going to be formally introduced to flip-flops because he still has trench foot after leaving the army years ago. Not good. For my nose.
We almost missed Ben's birthday today. This afternoon he said "what day is it?" I said "27th"... "oh! It's my birthday!" After writing this I am off to the shops for cards and cake.
So far it is true - NZ is definately a beautiful place. Sweet!!
