New Zealand Adventures (The story so far...)

We landed in Auckland after passing the date line (and losing a full twenty two hours, who needs a De Loren!!)

New Zealand border control have even less humour than American ones, but they do have way cuter sniffer dogs. Luckily we were not the ones being sniffed( but they did catch a guy on our flight, so although the meat stash was found, I got away clean!!)

We arrived at Kirsten and Matts and were greeted by their dogs, the puppy managed to get so over excited she peed on Chris's foot, but hey, its all good fun! After that, KB and I sat down to a glass of wine and Chris proceeded to try and fix her laptop, which has been broken for about two years - no surprise there then! (He reliably informs me he DID fix her laptop and there was no 'try' about it).

Chris forgot to lift the voucher for the RV, so we had to spend about 90 minutes treking around suburban Auckland to find a place to print out the voucher ( who would have thought finding an internet cafe would be so difficult?) But we picked up the RV and after spending a second night with K+M to pack we set off on our NZ adventure first thing Thursday morning (yes it actually was first thing, 8am who knew we could manage it)
