After 13 hours on a smooth flight from LAX, we arrived safely to Auckland, New Zealand. We've spent the past couple of days getting settled in, exploring New Zealand's largest city by foot, checking out Maori treasures at Auckland Museum, adjusting to no iPhone data plan(!), and wandering around the awesome neighborhood we are staying in, Mt. Eden, which includes a lookout from atop an old volcano (see photo on left). Auckland is home to about 1 million New Zealanders, and its volcano punctured land is surrounded by two harbors. The weather has been changing constantly from nice and warm to windy and chilly.Today is our final day here in Auckland and we plan to take a ferry around the harbor. Tomorrow we'll head to Rotorua, home to natural geothermal spas.
