Auckland

 

We've been back in New Zealand for almost two months and we're itching to get back home now. We're here in Auckland until Boxing Day, staying with Poppa or Grandad Smith. Here we are on the deck, on a rare sunny day. Summer here has been atrocious so far.

A rare outing to the beach  - Long Bay, the last suburb heading north out of Auckland. Pohutakawa trees in bloom.
