Rental Car, gathering supplies, and Auckland

The flight went surprisingly well. We flew in economy plus with nobody in front of us and had lots of space (We used up every inch of it with electronics, food, and bags). Thanks Moms Nancy and Lisa for the flights!! Monica and I both fell asleep for 4-5 hours, watched some movies, and before we knew it we were landing. We got the rental car, shopped for food, bought a cooler (they call it a chilly bin), hit the windshield wipers instead of the turn signal countless times, and concentrated on driving on the left side of the road. We took a nap and then took public transit train to downtown Auckland and found an amazing little asian seafood spot on the bay where we drank NZ white wine and ate sushi tuna, soft shell crab, oysters and duck (spoiled much?) while the sun set behind us.

The NZ people are incredibly nice and eager to find out what we have planned for our trip. Only one guy mentioned Trump so far and he was half drunk and very nice. We are about to leave our motel to drive to the Glow Worm caves! -Cam
