Back in Auckland now and since I am off work there is no excuse for not updating the blog. It is absolutely gorgeous weather here and it is hard to motivate yourself to do anything..but I will try.

Where did i leave off: oh yes, New year.

We spent New Year with Simon and Lorna in Wellington - we spent a week down there, visiting the area and listening to Simon try and convince us that we really need to move down to the capital!

Wellington is in fact a really pretty city, all built on hills from what I can tell
and around a harbour - on a sunny day it is amazing, however Auckland definitely gets the better weather so it is often very windy (hence the nickname - the windy city)
Some piccies from Wellington and New Year:

Me and Steve at karori Sanctuary (Native nature reserve)


Steve and Simon playing beach cricket NY Day


The boys barbecuing


Lorna and I relaxing in karori sanctuary


Meal at Monsoon Poon on NYE


Later on NYE in much drunker state!(hence the hats)


A good time was had by all and it really nice to have Simon and Lorna in New Zealand even if they are a one hr flight away!

I'll be back with our trip to Queenstown with Steve's parents. They are still here leaving on the 16th...

Take care
