We are LOVING Auckland! The city is a lovely size, full of sights, amazing bike shops and cool plazas and waterfronts. Scattered between it all are beautiful parks, harbours and volcanic craters! Same same as London, but very different. It's a bit of an odd existence, as we've both been busy applying for jobs and are no longer travelling - so we're trying to behave well before our first payslip arrives!
Our apartment is great - it's HUGE and only a 5' walk from the centre of town, plus a gym in the basement. Love it! While we're both missing travelling, it's great to be unpacked and have properly clean clothes! Looking forward to the next holiday already though!
Here's a few sights from our first couple of weeks exploring the City.

| Auckland Museum perched on top of the Domain |
 |
| A part of Auckland Museum's Maori Collection |
 |
| Some low, winter sun |
 |
Auckland's Sky Tower - we live pretty
much nextdoor! |
 |
Mount Eden, a 200m high volcanic crater looming over the city
- one of many! |
 |
| A long way from home... |
 |
| I can't wait to get a bike and tear these hills up! |
 |
| Our first spectacular sunset in NZ, over the Harbour |
We're really enjoying it here, and can't wait to get some bikes to explore the city and a camper-van to get away at the weekends. Ready for a year of adventures!
