Another wonderful city and this time we don't have to rush back to the boat by the middle of the afternoon! I'm still feeling the motion when I lie down, actually maybe that's my vertigo back again! We're here for a big Auckland Anniversary celebration weekend and so there will be fireworks tonight and all kinds of exciting things going on Saturday and Sunday. We are keeping a low profile and sort of puttering. We're booked on a tour to Devonport, 12 minutes across the harbor, tomorrow. There is supposed to be a "vintage" bookstore there!!! I'm going back over what I've written so far and trying to see what I have left out - before my last brain cell gives up the struggle. I'm enjoying every minute of this but still ready to be at home - snow and all! We're here three more days so do write if you get a chance.
One update from Rachel and Ross, apparently a number of the NZ volcanoes are indeed still active, and as I actually saw steam rising from one of them I don't know what I was thinking. More soon.

ReplyDeleteHave really been enjoyuing your blog. Please do let me know at some point your home address as there is a book I want to send you (a small thank you for the fun of reading your blog). Our eldest son Ian will be spending 7 wks in Nelson, South Island just after Easter (doing a medical elective and seeing a fabulous country from the sound of it) so esp interested in your NZ comments tho we have distant family (Perth) and friends (Sydney) in Australia. At one time Colin worked with some Australians so went over from time to time. But we had small children then and less than infinite money so I never got there. Some day. Enjoy the rest of your big adventure.
