Three is Company

Well, we're here! After an agonizingly long flight, (seriously, no matter how much i prepared myself, i was NOT prepared for sitting in a chair for longer than I've ever been in a vehicle in my life) we have safely arrived in beautiful Auckland, NZ. We landed at about quarter to nine in the morning and it was about 19 degrees and sunny outside. The sun is very very hot here! In the shade you're shivering and as soon as the sun comes out you can feel that deliciously powerful UV roasting off the top couple layers of flesh.

Now, firstly let me assure you that despite what these first two images may imply, we are in fact doing OTHER things than just drinking beer all day long. This magical moment illustrates the first place we went after arriving in downtown Auckland from the airport; our first step back into the world of the living (we aren't quite there yet, its about 7 at night now and we're just trying to stay awake) We're sitting in the hostel after a day of journeying around the city on foot.

Interwebbery is in fact kind of tricky to find. It costs $3 an hour to use it here at the hostel. We're already pretty excited to get out of the city and head south but there's a few fun touristy things for us to do while we're up here.
Not sure when I'll be posting next, but now you know we are all alive :)
