So after a LONG 30 hours of traveling we finally got to New Zealand. We wandered around Auckland from about 6:30 am until we were allowed to check into our hostel at 1:00 pm. We were exhausted but there are tons of coffee shops everywhere, so we powered through :)
In the airport customs line in Auckland I (emily) ran into a friend from UNC who was also and EXSS major and we had several classes together. He is living in Wellington and playing water polo so we may try to go see a game sometime. When we got to the hostel, we were roomed with a couple that we had met on the bus from Oregon (about our age) and made good friends with them and one other of our roommates who is an extrememly funny French guy named Ben. His English isn't great so he's been pretty entertaining tagging along with us. We all went out together last night and had a blast. Ben keeps calling us his 'team' and when we do things for the other people, we are "doing it for the team"
We've decided we are going to move away from Auckland to live, we don't know where yet but we have talked about buying a car and possibly living with the couple we are rooming with in the hostel. We'll see what happens. Tonight we are going to a Rugby game and then going out with "the team" to have some fun.

Wandering around Auckland, we found The White House, and a fun climbing tree
