NewZealandCoach’s Weblog

Over the next week I will be mostly in Auckland. I won’t be contactable on the messaging services so much, but still available on my cell#. Looking forward to a busy week!

We were in Auckland for the last few days, which was very interesting. The trip up was a little stressful, as traffic on the motorway slowed to a crawl. At some stages it stopped completely, as the rain was driving straight into our windshields. We made it to the apartment safely though.

We made time to see the Egyptian exhibition at the Museum which was just fabulous. I do recommend it if you’re in Auckland over the holidays. It was a shame that the weather was so bad that there was no point in packing a picnic – the grounds of the Museum contain lots of lovely trees, great for sitting under and climbing when the food has vanished. We are hoping to spend some time exploring the Domain when the children are next up. I have some fond memories of the time I was flower girl for my dads cousins wedding. I think I was about 5. The morning of the wedding was rather boring, as I had waist length hair at the time and the hairdresser had a bit of a struggle with it. Not the best way for a little girl to spend a morning. The wedding itself I don’t have clear memories of, but the photos taken afterwards in the Domain were lots of fun.

Another place we haven’t explored properly is Albert Park. This is very close to our apartment and from what I’ve seen of it, it is beautiful.

We didn’t get to the Zoo this time and I will wait until I have the children again before we return. They are with their dad at his farm down here.
