Hey everyone!

This is our first blog entry for our trip. We are currently in Auckland, which is a really great city. We have been here about a week now and its taken awhile to get over the jetlag, but I think we are finally getting used to the time difference. We are staying in an area of Auckland called Ponsonby which is really nice, lots of little shops, cafes, restaurants etc. Earlier this week we went up the Sky Tower which is part of the Sky city complex in Auckland. We went up to the top viewing deck which i think is 220m high. The views of Auckland from up there were incredible and we took loads of photos to show you. We have mainly been wandering around the city looking at all the sights, theres loads of parks to relax in and the harbour area is fab. This is our last day in Auckland, tomorrow we pick up the campervan and are heading south to Hamilton to start our journey around NZ. We will let you know how it goes soon.
