We are off; luggage packed, passports in hand and excited nerves tingling through our bodies. The next two weeks are full of unknowns; but it will be beautiful, daring, wild and exciting. We can't wait.

Filling our bellies and enjoying wine while we wait for the plane. Well, I had wine.... Erin had a latte.

We made it! We are now safe and sound in Auckland, New Zealand. We spent a little extra time at Sydney Airport due to the stormy weather but got here in the end.

There was a little bit of trouble getting our phones to load New Zealand maps. There we were sitting in the airport car park, no maps on either of our phones and me feeling a little silly as I had just told the sales assistant we didn't need a gps as we had our phones. I was hoping that we could find a servo nearby and purchase a map when Erin's phone kicked into gear; 20mins later we pull up to a cosy little house, that has a lovely soft bed. What more could you ask for? Crisis adverted and a warm bed.

Today we went the Museum of Auckland. Then we had breakfast (but it was at 1pm so really it was lunch). The best part of the museum was the music exhibit because it had lots of stuff for us to play with.

Then we had to drive for 3 hours to get to Kerikeri (near the Bay of Islands). As we drove along we decided to stop at Dome Lookout. It was a windy path with lots and lots of stairs. I thought it was only a 5 to 10 minute walk up but I was wrong. I couldn't take it any more so I went back down to the car. Lysa kept going to the lookout. When Lysa got back to the car she was all sweaty. She had decided to run; in her jeans and heels.

We kept on driving North, I kept falling asleep in the car but also needed to help Lysa with directions. I think we are getting better at directions now. Barely get lost anymore.

Picturesque doesn't even do this place justice.

Also that baby dolphin, goes by the name of French Toast.
Helen Barnsley The pictures are stunning and the weather looks great too. Hope you're having a ball
