No that's nothing to do with that dreadful stuff we used to drink at the cinema, it's a Maori greeting meaning 'be well' and I thought it fitting as we are now in New Zealand.
Our day started very early in a still foggy and damp Katoomba from where we had a 2 hour limo ride back to Sydney airport. We finally drove across the Harbour Bridge and had a last glimpse of the Opera House. Very sad.
You will be pleased to hear Jennie that I DID have a glass of champagne (and a bit) in the lounge just after 10-ish, then it was a lovely cosy flight on to Auckland. Now the city isn't as stylish as Sydney by any means but we're in a buzzy part of it right on the harbour and it feels like a good place to be.
We're staying in the Sebel Suites which we booked as I was having a panic about having to eat out every night and it has proved to be a good choice tonight as we were tired, not really hungry but just wanted to chill out with a few nibbles and a bottle of fizz (I know, I really must stop!) and that's exactly what we've done - sitting on our balcony watching everyone doing their thing below us. And that's where the photo is taken from.
I am going to sound extremely sad now but I am ridiculously excited that the suite has a washing machine and a dryer so I can get to grips with the laundry which is kind of building up. Anyway enough of that now, let me get back to my drink!
Have a good day. Missing you.
