Five pictures

Here are some pics from the first couple days. I don't have a cable for our small camera and some good group photos are on there. However, I do have a few of various other ones from the other camera that I will try to share if I can post them correctly.

Kate, Mick and Zach - Sky Tower - Day 1 Auckland
















Sign on the sidewalk in Auckland. "Vehicle crashes have killed 22 pedestrians in Auckland City in the past five years. Don't step into danger"

Despite this warning some of us have struggled with the look both ways rule. I suspect most of the 22 pedestrians were from places where the people drive on the right hand side of the road instead of the left. You tend to really only focus on looking one way - not both. We will heed this warning from here on out.

The countryside between Auckland and Rotorua.

  3. Looks beautiful! Very Green. Has anyone mentioned your American accent? That must be a bit of a role reversal. Darlin' Also, why is Z-man snuggling up to the inner rail in the Sky Tower picture? I love everything that's being sent.

  4. We were not allowed to take pictures inside the caves... :( We walked in and through the caves and then exited in a boat.

    I don't know if any of us mentioned it yet but we watched someone bungee from the top of the skytower while we were there. they actually jump to a big red target on the ground. Creepy.
