Back in Auckland

After an amazing time in Rotorua we headed back to Auckland (still stinking of sulphur) to see Bradley and Ver again. Bradley took us to the museum and we had a mess around on the North Shore.

The next day we went skiing! We headed to an indoor ski centre (minus 4 degrees inside) and had loads of fun learning to snow board. The photos are pretty shit because of the lighting but you can just about make out Dave doing a big jump.

From absolute beginner to awesome air grabbing snowboarding prodigy in 4 hours ain't 'alf bad.

We are both still battered and bruised, Dave especially as he fell over about 100 times to Chris' once, but we are keen to go again.... somewhere, like the Pyrenees. That evening we just messed about in Devonport and had a few drinks in the fancy local.

Thanks so much to Bradley and Verity for putting up with us (us up?) for the last few days. We are so glad we came over to New Zealand to see you. Miss you already!

Really great that you got to New Zealand -- another pin on the map -- and especially good that you got to see Brads.
The ski and snowboard place looked a lot of fun.
Looking forward to seeing you both on Wednesday. Hard to believe that it is now so soon.

When we pick you up on Wednesday will a car be ok? You've become so used to kayaks, horses, white-water rafts,rickshaws,trams,Amtrak, aeroplanes with business class and aeroplanes that you jump out of. It'll seem a bit of a come-down.
See you soon!
What will we do with our time when this blog finishes? We'll have to take up golf or something!
