Sunday 22nd November - First day in Auckland
Lazy start enjoying the full facilities at this lovely home, you know, microwave, electric kettle, full bathroom, mirror and charging every electronic device we have with us.
Met James off the Devonport ferry from Auckland Harbour and promptly whisked off to a less windy side of the area for a spot of lunch. James drove us around the Devonport and adjoining districts showing us with fondness places where he’d grown up learning to sail, going to school and a tour around their home which is having major renovations with every single part of the house being worked on. Whilst this disruption is going on the family are ensconced in a house a few doors away and this is where we met daughter Lily, son Jake and mum Sandy. At least 8 years since they all met so you can imagine how much the kids had changed.
We enjoyed a real English meal with the family, take away curry….delicious! James dropped us off in Ponsonby and we had a chat with Lovane and Jade ready for another good nights sleep.
