We had a great last few days. Spent more time wandering around Auckland. Took a 10 min ferry ride across the harbour to an area called Devonport. Its a small suburbia community with a great feel. Lots of cafes and restaurants and 2 volcano "cones" as they call them. We hiked up to the view points from the top. Gorgeous blue sky, sunny day. We wished we had brought our bathing suits because the beaches were beautiful too.

Spent our last 2 nights in Auckland at a new friend of ours house. Her and her dad live in a stunning place right on the harbour dock, down town. Ocean front or what. We met our friend Brooke while we were in Bali last month. So it was nice to be invited into there home. Had a couple of good home cooked meals too!

We flew down to Queenstown this afternoon inorder to meet up with our friend Wes tomorrow. Queenstown is beautiful, right inbetween huge mountains and a large lake. There are tons of activities that you can do here. Bungy jumping, hiking, luging, parasailing, sailing, biking, white water rafting etc etc.... so hopefully we will be busy!

Met tons of fellow canadians traveling and working here.... who knows maybe this will be the place that we hang out in for a while and work. The population is only 17 000 people, so I think it would be really fun.

Anywho, we are both well and having a great time!
