New Zealand is A LOT like Australia……….. (but the kiwis will hate us saying this. Prob the aussies too. oops!)

But the time difference is 5hrs. That’s a LOT. Last night we went to bed at 3am and got up at 12pm. We are still trying to adjust.

It’s summer. The weather is GREAT! Bit hotter than we expected. But it got nice and cool towards the evening. But the best part? The sun only sets at 9pm! So even though we started the day at 12pm, we managed to do quite a bit before the day "ended".

We went to the Sky Tower to see the city from way up there. It’s even taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris! We spent some time there to have lunch. After that we walked to Victoria Park Market but it was almost closed at 5. So we walked across the street to the park and spent a nice time at the playground and watched people play soccer and exercise. On the way back to the hotel, we made a detour and went to the harbour. We had dinner there and it was still bright and sunny when we left at 8! The taxi refused to take us back to the hotel coz it was just a few streets away SOOOO we walked back! We walked everywhere today. Thank God Sophie was happy sitting in her pram! I think she’s quite happy here. She was a bit whiny today prob because she’s trying to adjust BUT generally she’s been great! She REALLY enjoyed the playground. We took lotsa pictures but will post them up later coz our internet time is up. Stay tuned!!!
