Changing continent

Our second long haul flight on the trip took us to Auckland, New Zealand. Auckland greeted us with cold wet weather. After the warm weather we have had over the last six weeks in south east Asia the cold in New Zealand came as a bit of a shock.

On the positive note however, Erika's brother Peter flew in from Canada to join us for the next five weeks. The three of us will rent a motorhome and drive around New Zealand. We are really looking forward to unpacking our backpacks in the motorhome and not having to "pack up" again for another five weeks. Quite a change to the backpacking life that we have lived for the past eleven weeks.

Now we just wish that the rain would stop and that the New Zealand summer will arrive.
