Our beauty of a car!

We have been trying to upload this video of Granny Gone Wild, but everytime we try to do it it doesn't download within enough time! We will try again later or maybe try to put it on youtube. Sorry for the delay. We have to run now and pick up our hot new car!

A scenery shot of beautiful Waiheke Island!

This was on Onetangi Beach in Waiheke Is. We stayed right up the street from here and I found this perfect shell on one of our strolls.


Timmy got a new haircut while were in Auckland from some strange ranger! He chopped it all off - he was turning into a fuzz ball.

This is on our way to Waiheke Island! Tim lost a hiking boot on the way there. So far we have lost one travel pillow (sorry mom), one hiking boot and a belt. At this rate our packs will be a lot lighter by the time we come home!



This was our favorite gelato place in Sydney...yum! We miss it.

Auckland

Hello Loyal Followers,

We are in Auckland but have not had time to post anything new. We are buying a car on Tuesday to travel around the North and South Islands until March 22nd. We bought a little white Mitsubishi. We will post pics soon.

We have more to tell you all and share with you including the video footage of the crazy granny on the bus ride to Watson's Bay in Sydney. So far Auckland has been fun but we like Sydney way better. We are expecting the rest of New Zealand to be different. We've been staying at a Backpacker's hostel near the nightlife so that has been fun.

The time allowance for the internet says 2 minutes so we better run.....

Watson's Bay

This is a video we took of Watson's Bay, which is where we spent the day yesterday. It was beautiful!

Feet in the Sand

This was a beautiful little beach we stumbled upon. It was all local people. The sand was very orange and soft, and the water very clear!

Ferry ride back to Sydney Harbor




After exploring Watson Bay, we took a ferry back to Circular Quay. We passed the Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge!

Watson's Bay


Here we are at Watson's Bay. It is across from Sydney, but has spectacular views of downtown Sydney and the Tasman Bay!
