After Arrival

After getting home, having a shower (my god, it felt great after 36 hours of travel) me and Liz set off to sort our lives out and do a bit of shopping. I needed sunglasses (I really pushed the boat out and spent $10) and a EU-NZ plug convertor so I could use my laptop (hence why I am a day late in updating after arriving) plus food. I got 2 bottles of Bombay Saphire gin and and some free beer (yes, free! The best kind!) at duty free so needed tonic.

A drive round the area was really cool, there are beaches and sea everywhere but it was still somewhat overcast. When Gary got home from work we started boozing and catching up properly. A bit later, Sophie and Eve came over and it was just like being back at Uni. It was decided that I am the reason behind everyone relocating to New Zealand, tracing it all back! All because I had a computer and am a nerd and I set my ex-Uni landlady Sophie (Liz's Sister) up with up someone online which through complicated events led her to move to New Zealand, Liz visted and eventually met Gary and decided to live here too. So I am responsibe for a whole families emigration and a marriage! I should have charged a fee really.

After probably drinking too much I had a early night and slept 12 hours, finally knocking any chance of getting jet lag on the head.
