Days Gone By

The past few days have been a bit overwhelming to say the least. We have been still exploring Auckland and becoming some what settled in.The two guys we share our room with are nice and to themselves for the most part. One from Germany and one from Japan( Simon and Kinti). We have quickly realized that eating and drinking out may be more expensive than we like, so we made our way to a market a few blocks from our hostel and stocked up on some food for the week. Our search for a car is ongoing but we think we found a winner. We will post pictures when it's final. I wish I could rub in how perfect the weather is, but after the first two beautiful days, we have been experiencing down pours and gusty wind. The locals say that it will be gone as fast as it came seeing as though it has been perfect weather all month up until two or three days ago. Even though the weather has been bad, it didnt stop us from going out and exploring more. Today we found ourselves at Mission Bay, a 5k walk along the water just south of our hostel. It was an amazing sight...... The city is beautiful and all, but we are itching to get out on the road and venture to the country side!
p.s. Thanks Trish and Larry for the rain jackets. They came in handy sooner than we thought they would.
pss. Aunt Kim, we got in touch with Christine and should be meeting up with her soon.
