Auckland, Piha

What's this, another blog update??!! We happen to find internet available to us at this sweet little place we got for our last few nights in this incredible country. Therefore, I thought I would take the time to download a few photos we've snapped since the last update.

Here's a nice sunset over Auckland shot I got when we pulled into port after our ferry ride back from Great Barrier Island.

Speaking of which, on this ferry ride we were FINALLY treated to a whole dolphin show!! Lots of them showed up to play infront of the ferry as we sailed along. They were spinning, jumping, grinning and playing with us for quite a ways. We really feel as though this was a wonderful feeling of completion to our trip- we had been hoping to see them the whole trip!

We spent all day today exploding our rental car of all of our accumulated stuff that we've been driving around with for a month! We rented a sweet little place in a beach village outside of Auckland to do so, on the Tasman Sea, called Piha. We got all organized & re-packed in record time, so had some time to do our last good-bye sunset on the beach.





What an amazing trip!! We know we are heading back to COLD winter, there is snow already up at the house we are told, so looking forward already to the hot tub!

We will continue to use this blog site & address for other trips & updates of our house projects, so please don't throw away the address in your website bookmarks! Come & visit again & again.
