This morning we got up early and flew to Auckland, New Zealand, got our rental car and drove in a torrential downpour to our friends Jean and Brian’s farm near Hamilton. We arrived in the pouring down rain to their warm and cozy home. They made us very welcome and we had a great time with them. We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed their company and getting to know about New Zealand from them. We watched an All Blacks Rugby Game and had great fun.
