Arrived!

Well after a hiccup at Edinburgh Airport (they couldn't find us on their screen but after half an hour it was sorted - phew!) we have arrived, tired, hungry and grumpy! It was a lovely day when we arrived and within 15 mins we had our car, a small car similar to what I drive at home and it was a manual so we were sorted. Peter found the flight easier than me. We both managed to stay awake on the first half so we would sleep the second flight - well that was the theory. It worked for Peter but not me. My butt has spread on the way across with all the meals we have had but all were lovely. We were too early to book in to our accommodation so we hit a shopping mall which was just opening - it was like the tardis bigger on the inside. We headed off in to the centre of Auckland and found a lovely park to park in and stroll around to pass the time and stretch the legs. We headed off just after lunch time to our accommodation which fortunately was available early. It is a lovely cabin with kitchen come sitting area a separate bedroom and huge shower room with washing machine and tumble drier! We both had a very much needed shower to remove the grime of travelling for 36 hours in the same clothes!!!! Then I hit the sack for a couple of hours. After a much needed rest we headed off for something to eat and catch up on our emails before heading out for a walk and back to the cabin to relax till bedtime, planning our next day and hopefully we are now working on NZ time.
