She touched down in Auckland at 23.20 on new years eve, eventually coming through the gate at 00.03 to be greeted by a bottle of champagne with cries of "I did it!"
We let her have a quiet first day, taking her across to Hamilton gardens, showing her a bit of the locality and letting her experience a big kiwi style BBQ in the sunshine.
A bit of shopping on Friday was followed by a good look around the Cambridge area on Saturday, followed by another BBQ at a friends house.
Sunday saw us over at the Pacific coast at Mount Maunganui where the kids got her to attempt body boarding in the surf.
Monday was a bit of a rest day with a visit from another friend followed by an evening with the kayak down the road at Lake Karapiro.
Tuesday was a long trip down to Mount Ruapehu and Taupo, lovely hot day and very enjoyable, if not tiring with the amount of driving.
Wednesday was over to a friends swimming pool and a BBQ - again, you notice a trend developing here?!
Thursday saw us heading over to Rotorua and the lakes. Very hot day, so the swim in the Blue lake was very welcome, but the big stone chip in the windscreen on the way home certainly wasn't!
Friday was a trip over to Hamilton city as I had to get my windscreen chip repaired, so a lazy'ish day was had by all
