As I am totally exhausted and cannot form proper sentences, I propose this to you, ask us anything about our trip so far, or anything related, New Zealand, why we are crazily doing this, anything!
Proper posts to come when I have slept and have better internet.
Randoms:
-Hotels here give you a milk carton when you check in. For your coffee in the morning. The U.S. should adopt this.
-Hotels also seem to be closed by 9pm. The U.S. should NOT adopt that part.
-Mead is honey wine. The term "honeymoon" comes from men drinking mead for the first month of marriage to promote male offspring. Bet you didn't know that!

Bits and pieces.
Things we have learned so far:
-You have to ask for your check at meals, or you will sit there for hours.
-Feijoa is pineapple guava.
-Hokey Pokey is delicious. So is lamb pizza.
-Apparently we have an affinity to eating at Irish Pubs in foreign countries.
-Kiwis treat the Treaty of Waitangi like we treat Thanksgiving. It was an awful thing we did to the native culture, but we celebrate it anyway.
-Pita Pit is everywhere. And Subways are like Starbucks in the US. There is one on every corner.
-Milo is the best cereal on the face of the planet.
-The sun here is far more intense than anwhere in the states.
-Barefoot in gas stations = totally normal.
-North Head is the most beautiful mount I have ever seen.
-20 celsius is about 68 fahrenheit. Aka awesome.
-Grocery stores in the Auckland CBD are non-existant.
-I was born in the wrong country fashion wise. It brings out a creepy shoe desire in me.
That's all I have for now. I have a million pictures and a million things to say, but this is my first online-ing ability and its 1am. So when its regular, I promise there shall be more!
