An amazing 12 hours sleep and a power shower and full, decent washing machine cycle and I finally feel almost human again.
After this I had a phonecall from my cousin who works in the city. She had time for a lunch break, and my Auntie flying back from Wellington was also up for the idea. Walking out of the estate I caught the bus (petrified I would miss it or get on the wrong one), and was soon on my way into the city. No matter how many times I see the Auckland skyline I love it and it's sense of familiarity is now welcoming and calming to me. I got off at what I hoped to be the right stop, and was correct and soon at the Viaduct, Auckland - meeting at the Soul Bar and Bistro. Lunch was a fabulous goats cheese salad - my favourite! A quick drive home with the family and a relaxed afternoon chatting, catching up on more Olympics, and a fabulous homemade curry later and we were soon watching some fabulous Rowing Finals love from London. Witnessing a kiwi gold and GBR bronze in the same race was a highlight.
Apologies for no pictures today.
