New Zealand July 2010

the flight over from Perth to Auckland


We had a lovely time back home despite it being the middle of winter!
Our motel had central heating so we were nice & cosy at night. The days were a bit cool but not too bad. Some rainy days but we managed to find things to amuse ourselves.

The girls travelled well, sleeping quite a bit on the way over. Coming home Ella slept half the way after exhausting herself crying because she didn't want to leave. Kate on the other hand was packed & ready to go 3 days before hand. Funny kids!

We went over for my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary celebration which was a lovely lunch with family & close friends. The sun came out after a few days of rain, which was lovely!

We had a spa at the motel which the girls enjoyed most nights when we were back in time before it closed, it was more like a sauna though!

We drove a long way to the place with the longest name in the World!

Kate chose rock climbing, which they both loved


Ella chose the Aquarium

Looks like fun! That's an awesome place name - did you try to pronounce it?!
