Day 2: I finally slept!

That might have been the best I ever slept with a glass of wine first.
Today we are going to Waiheke Island with Hope. It is my first NZ outing.


Yesterday after dinner Chris and I walked over to a nearby park. He was looking at something and I walked over the playground. There was a part of the jungle gym that looked like you were supposed to climb it but not very far. I touched it and it spun. I thought maybe it wobbled and was then hard to climb so I tired. IT SPINS LIKE MAD. We found out the trick is to stand up straight and your center of gravity spins it. You can set back and it slows down. Well, I didn't know that and I couldn't get it to stop. I yelled at Chris," Baby, come over here, I can't stop this." He started walking and I kept spinning. Then I yelled, "Run it hurts! I think my nose is going to bleed." It was so wild. The sad part is we went back after dinner to do it again. Here is picture of Chris on the spinning thing.




Tonight we are going to eat at Sky Tower. Here is a picture of us from near his parent's house. You can see between us into Downtown Auckland. Sky Tower is centered.

I am very happy that you made it!!! I am very sad because this place is very empty without you! I love Chris' pictures, but I am sure that you could be in trouble if pictures of you get out - I know if pictures of me from age 10-15 get out I would have to live underground for the rest of my life. I hope you guys are having a great time! Enjoy the scenery & I hope your bodies are getting accustomed to the time change. FYI - it is Monday 12-3-07 at 3:57p.m. here. Love ya!
