The Adventure Begins


The adventure begins


We left home at 10am on the 27th October to spend some time up town my husbands and kids. Frist stop was at the hairdressers to see if my 2nd daughter could do some work experience during her school hols then off to Nando’s for a coffee, was delicious and we even managed to get a photos taken. Next we spent a nice hour by the lake front, taking more photos for my mother in the UK.
At last it is time for the bus to Auckland, omg am I really doing this, huge hugs to them all, I will miss them so much. The trip to Auckland was uneventful however I seem to lose track of my cousin who was picking me up, we found each other an hour later at McDonald’s, I had to get online to my eldest daughter to ring my cousin……..what a palaver. From there we went to pick up Cathy my cousins partner then on to a BBQ, more photos.
Stayed overnight at my Andrews (cousin), lovely apartment they have in the city centre. A nice sleep too, I gave Cathy a scarf I had knitted as a thank you for having me.
It is now the 28th and Andrew has just dropped me off at the Airport, huge place to say the least, though I haven’t got lost yet, got a great food court here not many people around yet, I have to go through departure gate in another hour and fifteen minutes, I managed to get seats by the aisle due to my hearing, phew what a great lady the check in lady was to do that for me.
