We've arrived!!!

We just arrived in Auckland today(Thursday)the 14th at 6am, that would be 1pm Texas time but its Wednesday there. So far everyone is cool and friendly. Auckland reminds Natalie and I of Portland, Oregon. Its a little rainy, but the sun came out later and we walked to one of the ports where they keep several of there competitive sail boats. We are staying at a hostel called ACB (Auckland Central Backpackers), its a cool place reminds us of the "dorm days" back in college....That makes me sound old!?!!? So far we have eaten a "Kebab" it was great, the grumpy man that made them for us slapped away Maegan's hand because she reached to grab some extra napkins....it was funny and we learned somthing NZ people love there napkins! More likely it was just that grumpy dude.
