Well, crikey, we've been here two weeks today and I haven't got round to updating this- told you I'd be rubbish!
Mind you, we have been busy. We landed on Monday 18 Feb and our old friends Dillan and Sarah met us at the airport. We've been staying at Dillan's house since then and getting to know the area a bit, looking at houses to buy or rent, cars to buy and jobs to get, as well as meeting up with Dad and Gill who were in NZ on their world tour, supporting Dillan at the Ironman (which he did in just over 11 hours- well done Dill!), getting over jet-lag, going to the Auckland Chinese lantern festival (that's the piccy!) and lots of other stuff, so that's my excuse!
Anyway, we've taken lots of photos, but I haven't got most of them onto my laptop yet, so I'll do that in the next couple of days and try to get this a bit more up to date! Suffice to say we like New Zealand so far and are having a lovely time :-) That's all for now.

Hey guys!
Great to see that you're embracing the blogging technology to stay in touch. I was a little dubious about Bren's chances given his 'rather' unethusiastic facebook usage!!! I shouldn't have been so silly. Also - love the ability to subscribe to the RSS feed of your blog, so it will be easy for me to stay up to date :)
Hope you are settling in ok - Any luck on the house front? How far around Auckland are you looking?
I'll be probably spending a lot of time online in the next while, as sadly still doing the hospital thing again - so hopefully catch you online soon! Next time i get a chance to get briefly back to the flat i'll grab my headset for the laptop & we can utilise some internet phone capabilities! Have also got my NZ Vodafone SIM, so will be cheap to stay in touch. Do keep me posted of your adventures.
Bren - let me know if you want any kayaking / sea-kayaking contacts in the Auckland area for gentle boating trips! Have a few ideas up my sleeve.
Loads of love and hugs to you both, Kira xxx
