Game night at Jon's, Friday 17 April 08

We had a fun game night at Jon's flat with Susan (Naughty) and Jon's brother, Mike. We played a nasty game of cards, but Sarah had to first make sure the tablecloth was absolutely perfect. *note: Sarah is wearing her non-prescription glasses which, she claims, "raise [her] IQ by 10 points."

Fun at the Newton's and downtown Dunedin

last ones in Auckland

waiting in the Auckland airport before heading off to Dunedin. Sarah suddenly shrieked when she saw an airport groundsman riding a bicycle outside. you can just see him riding away in the picture. we ought to implement bicycles at the Boise airport. on the flights down to Dunedin, with stopover in Wellington, we were given cheese platters! with crackers and grapes. they were so nice.

Pokeno

Torrential rains and car problems deterred us from the beach on our last day in Auckland (15 April) but we did manage to make it to Pokeno for ice creams with Michael. Much laughing was had by all.

More in Auckland

Kezia pointing out that the spot on my trousers "looks like New Zealand!" Liz and Kezia being ballet dancers...sort of.


























Liz holding a bowl of magically delicious feijoas after picking them up in the backyard. We ate feijoas with every meal while in Auckland. Or just for a snack. Or for no reason at all. They are magical.
