I'm told that somewhere through the hail storm and behind the mist and maybe slightly to the right, this si what Auckland looks like. Arived yesterday morning after a really long flight and just mooched around trying to make plans for the next two weeks. Looks like I won't be skiing afterall so I already need to do a bit of replanning. Getting out of the city on Wednesday and heading up to the Bay fo Islands. Hopefully i can get back to doing some outdoorstuff, cycling, hiking and maybe even a bit more silaing and horse riding.
