Auckland

 The Harbour

Sky City Tower

This past weekend we went to Auckland for a big concert and to explore the area because we haven't spent much time there yet. Unfortunately I had the flu so we didn't get out to some of the nearby islands that we wanted to get to- but we had a spectacular time at the concert and still got to see some of the city.

"Fairlie" good New Years

For New Year's Eve we went to Fairlie- a small town 2.5 hours southwest of Christchurch. There isn't a whole lot to do in Fairlie but there are a few nice lakes nearby that are actually pretty warm for swimming (a real rarity in NZ).
