New Zealand

Example of my dedication to New Zealand. Bought this jersey jacket when I was 12. And have kept it/worn it ever since. Even when the zipper no longer worked. To be here is so amazing! Right out of the plane I kept smiling like a fool it was so exciting and beautiful. Oh ps somehow ended up in first class. View from the house! Would have been better if I had taken it from the veranda which you can see a bit off on the top right. How can someone see this everyday?

Eggs as they should be. haha so random but needed.

Unlce Malcolm and Aunt Mary are delightful. I have forever associated them as "Kiwi's" and when I heard them speak it was so obvious they are Scots through and through. Which I'm more than pleased about because I believe a fact of life is Scots are the funniest people. Seriously. I'm loving getting to know them (Uncle Malcolm was serving in Germany at the same time as Elvis but never saw him) and hearing all their interesting stories! And of course drinking my rooibos tea with them.

As much as I love Auckland and Cockle Bay(area I'm staying in, honestly the bay is a street down and I will defo be taking a swim asap because I had been told it was freezing here but its 70 and hot?) I'm ready to be out of the city and 'burbs. I can't wait to be out in the open exploring the New Zealand I've been dreaming about all these years.
