New Zealand Trip Report - Part 1

We left SFO about 7:30 PM on January 30 and arrived in Auckland about 7:30 AM on Feb. 1. Al and I picked up the rental car and headed for the Youth Hostel. I thought for sure that we would be divorced before our 25th anniversary. The map we were given did not have most of the streets listed on them. With the confusion from the map and the frustration of driving on the wrong side of the highway, I felt that if our marriage did not end in an instant divorce, Al might have a heart attack. While waiting to find Pat and Carol, who were already at the hostel, we drove around Auckland. Al and I saw the biggest working yellow horse moving across the highway. This mass of metal is used for unloading ships in port. We finally made it back to the hostel and met up with Pat and Carol.
