Where is Bilbo Baggins?


Yesterday we finally arrived in NEW ZEALAND! I am so pumped to be here, but wish it were for longer. Because of the time change between here and Australia plus the delayed flight, we didn’t get to our new accommodations until around 6 pm local time. The Waldorf is by far the nicest place we have stayed so far even if we are on the 13th floor. Since it was so late, we didn’t have much planned other than to head to the Maori War Museum. The Maoris for those who don’t know are the native indigenous people of New Zealand, and they are awesome. That’s for another day though. When we got to the museum, of course, something big and important was going on inside so we couldn’t get in. Well there went our only plans for the evening. By this time though, we were all hungry. The story of this entire trip. Our accommodations luckily are right down the street from a good bit of restaurants and little eateries. After eating some kebabs, it was time to call it a night. Not much of an exciting day but there will be plenty of those to come!

Always a tree to climb

  1. I love how tree climbing became such an important part of our trip. Every tree we saw, SOMEONE had to climb it! Lol

    Our rooms in Auckland were amazing! They were so nice, and it felt great to sleep with four pillows on such a big bed. Just ignore the 13th floor part!
