We stayed at the Evergreen in Ranfurly

 

 

Most New Zealand rooms have kitchens

 

 

Some with a mix of fuses and breakers

 

 

In the kitchen the hot water is on the left

 

 

In the bathroom the hot water is on the right

 

 

Waterfront and museum area of Auckland

 

 

The Auckland War Museum

 

 

Could I please have some moa . . .

 

 

A rare zero - - still intact

 

 

Outside the Maritime Museum

 

 

 

 

This is the boat that gave us trouble at the America's Cup.

 

 

If the Auckland airport toilet is "engaged" when is the wedding?

 

 

Clarence saved us with a valiant dash through the airport to catch our flight to LA

 

 

Time to rest

 

 

Landing in Dallas

 

We returned from this trip with severe jetlag. We flew eleven hours from Auckland to LA, but when we landed it was the same hour of the day as it had been when we took off. We had slipped eleven extra hours into our day and it took us almost a week to recover. We would love to do it all over again!
