Arriving in New Zealand

Bib thought it was about time we stared writing about our trip to New Zealand.  We had no idea what was going on, but Bib made me a pair of shorts and gave Tulip a lovely ribbon - she tied it around her neck, very pretty.  We had no idea where we were going but it took a long time and we flew.  All very exciting.

We arrived in New Zealand and found Erin very quickly at the airport, Bib as so pleased to see her - there were tears. 

We made our way out of Auckland and towards Piha, stopping at Waitakere Ranges, where we had Danish ice cream.  It was lovely to get some fresh air and warmth.  Then we went to Piha where we were staying and this is the view we had to put up with !!!  WOW

The next day we went into Auckland and had lunch with Mike (the first picture) and then spent the next few days relaxing in Piha meeting the locals and drinking coffee.

Next instalment soon.
