We’re staying until Tuesday with Kelly’s mom in Red Beach about an hour outside Auckland – a great place to recover from jet lag and start to get to know New Zealand!

Chip and dip culture here is excellent – kiwi onion, kumaru crisps, basil pesto dip and rosemary and thyme crisps 😋
My tea came on a tea warmer which was definitely unnecessary, it’s HOT here
Pūkeko – the only native bird we’ve got a picture of, but we’ve seen parrots and a couple of swamp harriers too!
Volcanic views from Shakespear nature reserve.
Jack got this bucket hat in Singapore airport with his last S$20
Wine tasting on Waiheke island
Our view for lunch. Lunch was 327 on Waiheke and it was AMAZING.

Batch vineyard – highest point on Waiheke island with lovely views and less lovely wines. If you zoom in on the centre of the picture you can just about make out Auckland
