Hej!

 

Sorry I haven’t updated the blog for a long while, been to busy exploring new things and spending time with Félix. We had two great weeks! Cannot really think of any way it could have been better. We have seen so much, done so much and enjoyed every part of it. First couple of days we spend in Auckland discovering what it had to offer, we went to Devonport which is just across the center of the city with a ferry, climbed the  volcano and enjoyed a beautiful view. Then it was time for the Rotorua weekend, where we did water rafting down a spectacular river, learned some about the mauri culture, drove the luge down the hill, watched the mud boil from natural causes and had some awesome parties. Then it was time to see some of the north island on our own, so we rented a car for 3 days and first went north to the beautiful bay of island to do the hole in the rock tour, see some dolphins, whales and seals on the way along with an amazing scenery. And for the first time drove on the left hand side, thank god for automatic gears! Then we went south to the hot water beach, where you basically could dig our own pool in the sand, unfortunately we missed the tide but it was a beautiful drive and the beach was nice even without the bath. Thursday was school day, had to do a presentation. But we managed to climb up the highest spot in Auckland to take some pictures, this spot is also an volcano, really cool one. Considering that Auckland is built on a minefield of volcanoes you should pay them some respect.  The evening ended up with a few drinks in apartment 40 as always. Friday was the 26^th and also our 6 months day. So we celebrated that with having a wonderful stroll at Mission bay beach to later enjoy a yummy dinner at the top of the sky tower companied by the views of Auckland city at dark. Saturday we didn’t really do that much, packing had to be done and we decided to stay at a hotel close to the airport to not have to bother with that on Sunday morning. Which was a really good decision as it was a really nice hotel with pool, your own bath robes and slippers and a nice breakfast buffetJ

 

Saying good bye is never easy and especially not after 2 wonderful weeks. But when we got through these coming 4 months it will probably be the longest period apart so by really missing him right now I know that when I finally get to see him again it will prob never be as long ever again. But it is empty right now.

 

Thank you for a wonderful 2 weeks hun! Love you

 

 

I have so much to do! I don't even know where to start but i started. I am however seeing the light in the tunnel. In 7 days and one night, finally, Félix will be here:D (ska bara skriva en sisådär 20 000 ord innan....gaaahh)

So haven't really happened that much since i last updated, but one thing has happened:) We went to see the ALL BLACKS play rugby vs. Australia. What a game:) We ended up with free flags and hats and our faces painted:) it was absolutely freezing but o well, 61 000 people in the audience and suddenly it started to warm up:)

I cannot wait!!

so today i have had a really busy but good day! got welcomed into the New Zealand traditional culture, maori. we spent 3 hour in their beautiful building, and got to know the story behind auckland, and the tribes. Then I went back the the apartment after a disappointing non existing bbq, twice in a row now so hopefully they will have some tomorrow! Then it was time to go into town so i had made my mind up to take my new bike, so an adventure. And yes it was an adventure, the chain jumped once and then my gears stopped working, but o well i made it there and i met Helena and we had wonderful waffles:) then we got the most amazing cookies so i brought some home and now we just finished them:) so maybe it was  a good thing i biked...but i did go to the gym as well! so all in all a busy but very good day:)
