New Zealand!

Okay, I realize my blogging for the Middle East was pretty lame. But I suppose I can try again for New Zealand! I arrived in Auckland at 5:25am on November 17th - gotta love crossing the date line. I'm going on a day trip around Auckland today and then when I get back to the hostel I plan on napping for a looooong time. Don't leave for Paihia until the 19th so I have a couple days to get familiar with Auckland and New Zealand, and just get settled in general.
