Two drifters off to see the world. . .

Well we finally got ourselves a NZ phone number. It is +64 (0) 212978734. We get FREE incoming calls from anywhere in the world so please feel free to call us whenever you feel like it (unless of course it’s the middle of the night here). We are 13 hours ahead of GMT right now (until daylight savings ends) so if you are in Ontario just add 5 hours to the time there and that’s the time here the next day (eg. 2pm in Ontario = 3pm on the east coast = 12pm in Colorado = 11am in BC = 7am in NZ the next day).

Also some bad news, my USB card somehow got deleted by a computer at an internet cafe today so all the photos that I still had to upload are now gone (as well as everything else I had on there). Luckily they are all still on the camera card (I hope) so I just have to download them off there again. We also have them saved to CD so they are not lost completely but it might mean nobody gets to see the rest of them until we get back. Needless to say we will not be going back to that internet cafe!

Well that’s how long it takes to go from Frankfurt to Singapore and then on to Auckland, NZ. Yes, we finally left the oncomming cold of fall in Europe to get to the warm spring of summer. We left Frankfurt on Monday at noon, and arrived in New Zealand at midnight of Tuesday.

We didn’t get much sleep on the plane, but that wasn’t a bad thing. Singapore airlines still keeps the luxury in flying, so we got plenty of meals, snacks and drinks. They were bringing me beers faster than I could drink them! The chairs were as comfortable as aircraft seats can be, but they had in seat TV’s with your choice of movies, TV shows, gameboy games, etc. I think we each watched around 6 or 7 different movies, and TV shows as well.

 So right now, we’re just chilling in Auckland, relaxing today after doing laundry. Tomorrow we start exploring the city, and maybe even looking for a new home/job/car or anything else we plan to do in the next 3 months we’re here.

Oh also there are more pictures put up, We have all the Eesti and Northern Europe pictures. We’re gonna try to get the rest up soon as well!
