Today I learned that in Auckland you can experience 4 seasons in one day. This morning it was absolutely pouring rain and nasty and so foggy that you couldn't even see the sky tower. But then around noon it all started to clear up and we had bright sunny skies the rest of the afternoon! Check out the views on the Sky Tower...pretty awesome!
So, with sunny skies overhead I rented a car from Lucy at JUCY (because really, with a name/spokeswoman like that, why would I go anywhere else) and began the driving adventure. I discovered that the GPS I hauled all the way from the US won't even turn on, but felt so much better when a cab driver asked me if I was okay when he saw me reading the map at a stop light. No wrong turns today (but tomorrow's a new day and I'm sure that will change). Check out "el cheapo" Nissan Sunny, my new car for the year.
Thankfully it comes with that nice sticker to remind me to drive on the wrong side of the road.
The adventure has begun! Reporting to the hospital in the am to get small details like a work visa taken care of. In the meanwhile, loving the sunsets in Auckland!
And the rising moon!
