New Zealand arrival



We arrived in Auckland yesterday and took a shuttle to our hostel, the Lantana Lodge. After resting we did some exploring of the city and found some yummy food. The best we can tell is that it's 21 hours ahead of the west coast here. Thankfully, we haven't really experienced much jet lag.

Traveling this far with a 16-month-old has been surprisingly not that bad. Sure you have to chase her around the airport and make sure she doesn't knock things off the shelves of the gift shops, but you also get to cut to the front of the long airport lines and everyone (especially old ladies) smile and talk with you.

These photos were taken in our room. Ediza, always full of energy, wasn't climbing up the walls -- she decided to go up the window. Haha.
