Arrived in Auckland!

From the shortest flight ever (15 minutes) from Vancouver island to the longest ought ever ( Los Angeles to Auckland) 13 hours - we arrived! A smooth flight with lots of movies Andorra sleep. The problem was that our bag did not arrived. The airline promised to deliver it by tomorrow morning. So now we could go onashopping spree with the$100 per person compensation. Our driver was there to pick us up. Allen had lots to talk about and definitely gave us a New Zealand orientation. The rydges hotel is central next to the huge tower. We took a nap and shower and headed out to explore. Queen street was a bustling shopping center. We hoped the 12 minutes ferry to cross the bay and visit the quaint town of davenport. After a few hours of walking the shops and beach we returned to the city to find a way to spend our $$. Finally just minutes before the stores closed I found a sweater and shoes, and Stephen two shirts. Back to the hotel now for a full night if sleep!
