Kia ora! (Auckland, New Zealand)

Hello all!

I have arrived safe and sound in Auckland--it's bringing back memories of 2 years ago when I trekked this trail along with 50 high school students who just wanted to get drunk and do other illicit things together. I am expecting a much nicer experience this time around. I am staying in Auckland just for a couple of nights, at base Backpackers (you can check it out: www.basebackpackers.com), then heading north to Whangarei and Paihia. After a week my friend Lance, the infamous, to some of you, tour guide from that also infamous trip two years ago, will be joining me. He's from here, so I'm looking forward to exploring the island with someone who knows it well.

Still lots to write about with Fiji and CO, I know, but I need to get some laundry done. I'm starting to smell already. :)

E noho ra! (I think that's right for goodbye.)

Ahhh...the Fijian memories!!! It was a bit over 10 years ago since I was in Nadi, shopping in that same food bazaar, eating some of the best Indian food I can remember...I must make it back there someday....
I'm glad everything is back on track since the luggage fiasco, and that you are on to country #2! Have a fab time in NZ and keep us posted!!!!
XOXO, B
