Although my GPS usage skills put us a little off track it was all smooth sailing getting into west Auckland to visit an old friend of mine.
Caroline whom I went to both primary school and high school with and hadn't seen in over a decade invited both Marlieke and I to stay with her.
We arrived with every intention to cook up some food but ended chowing down on the delicious BBQ that was prepared for our arrival.
It was fantastic to reminisce with Caroline about our younger years remembering the ridiculousness of those who attended school with us.
Marlieke was not bored about this because, although I didn't remember, Caroline was Dutch and had a variety of food from holland making Marlieke incredibly excited.
It was a fantastic evening of chit chat, awesome food and perhaps a little too much to drink. But most importantly for Marlieke a proper bed to sleep in for a few nights before we set off further south.

 

Sorry, no pictures as there was nothing of interest on this trip nack to Auckland.
