We arrived at Auckland Airport at just after 5am this morning and collected our bags before catching a shuttle over to Susi and Dale's house. They are 2 of Nikki's friends from Lloyds who are kindly looking after us for a few days.
After dropping off everyone else in the shuttle first, we eventually got to Susi and Dale's (large) house but they had already left for work. Susi's sister-in-law Uni let us in and we got to meet Lloyd (their son) before going to our room and falling asleep.
When we woke up a few hours later Uni had gone out so we had showers and chilled out in the house before Susi and Dale got home from work at about 5pm.
We said our hellos, which was really nice because we'd not seem them in years and Susi (who is tiny) is heavily pregnant, with a massive belly. They then said they wanted to take us out for a meal - how could we refuse?
They drove us to a nice Malaysian restaurant and we had a really good time - plus they wouldn't let us pay. From what we've seen of Auckland, it's very similar to the UK - they drive on the same side of the road, everything is closer together than the USA and... it was raining!
We got back to the house and hung out, catching up before going up to our room (yippee! our own room) and falling asleep... again!
Hello New Zealand!
