So far...

Tuesday:

1. wake up early to pick up Brook and Mike about 6:45, only to find out they've been waiting for me for like 45 mins. i timed it like when jeremy kemps family came b/c they took the same flight. turns out, they didn't have to wait in any lines this time and went through customs quickly.

2. take them to McD's for 2nd breakfast (1st being on the plane) and waiting for sun to come up for our next thing

3. go to One Tree Hill to look over city and kill some time and hopefully keep them awake.

4. go home for 3rd breakfast. (i think they felt like hobbits by this point), then take a walk to the beach. showers might have come in after that

5. go to the grocery store.

6. do anything possible to keep them awake until 8pm, when i told them they could go to bed. that was quite a feat!

Wed

1. hung out in the morning

2. went to the auckland museum for a few hours, then to a local brewery. brook and mike tried a sampler of 8? different beers. i tried one and decided that i could drink it if my life depended on it, but i still didn't like it. they said it was more like a wine than beer...not sure how that works, but it's true.

Thurs

1. hung out in the morning

2. Went to Dutch Delight restaurant for lunch. so yummy!!

3. played card game after supper

Fri

1. brook, mike and i bussed into the city for some shopping and lunch at the sky tower while jeremy stayed home and worked. lots of walking...all on hills. that's what we have.

tomorrow is supposed to be jer working in the morning, while brook and i go the grocery store. that afternoon, we're going to do some tree adventure ropes courses. we're pretty excited about that. possibly afterward, we're going to hit muriwai beach for sunset, and our fav. pizzaria on the way home.
