I have been wanting to visit my friend Clive and his family in Auckland for a while now since I arrived in New Zealand 馃嚦馃嚳, I was invited twice but couldn't make it due to my busy work schedule and high cost of flight last Christmas so I booked my flight in advance to come visit them in Easter.
I was excited about seeing Clive again. He left South Africa seven years ago, so it's been ages. Also, it is amazing how life works. Neither of us knew we would ever meet again in New Zealand. We knew each other from the same church we attended in South Africa 馃嚳馃嚘.
It feels good to escape the cold and wet weather in Christchurch to a warm weather in Auckland. The flight 鉁堬笍 was great with wonderful views from the sky as I flew with Air NZ. Taking of from a wet, cloudy Christchurch, as seen in the photos to a bit of a bright sky towards Auckland, was awesome for my Easter weekend.
Now that I am in the North Island for two days, I will try to explore 馃榾
