New Zealand





Yesterday morning we left Fiji early in the morning and arrived in Auckland around lunch time. We flew in a 747 which was less than half full so we could stretch out.

Once in Auckland we picked up our little mini van. Bob explained to the kids that we will be driving on the wrong side of the road. No, you will be driving on the left side of the road, corrected the rental car guy. Oops!

It's a little scary driving on the LEFT side of the road, I have to say. Bob is doing a great job, but our mantra is to all say drive on the left every time we get in the car.

We found a little bed and breakfast in Waitomo, Big Bird B&B. It's an ostrich farm and we got to meet the ostriches. The owner, Ann, told us that they are fast but not very smart, their eyes are bigger than their brains! They also had ponies that the kids got to ride on.

This morning we woke up to fresh bakes bread and fruit salad, ready for new adventures!

Hi there,

Stefan and I are sitting at the kitchen table going through your pictures and travel stories. It gives us a little bit of your real experience and will be so much fun to discuss with you once you arrive in Stockholm.
Life for you looks fantastic and we are sure you are enjoying : ) We will keep tracking you. Lots of hugs!!
