Auckland

We arrived at 1 pm and after getting our tent sanitized we proceeded to unpack and put together our bikes. This took all of 4 hours. I think we were a bit of a spectacle. Our first impression of kiwis is that they are very helpful. Three people in the airport approached us (separately) and chatted to us for a while, telling us about good places to go and such. We finally set out and...yikes! we realize that we have to bike on the left hand side of the road - weird! Round abouts proved to be especially mind boggling. On the way to the campground we stopped at a strawberry farm - yum! The farm that had the campground was beautiful, a bit like farm in Ruckle Park back home.
