After traveling to Samoa, Ireland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Hong Kong, China, and Fiji, I am back in New Zealand (exhale)!!!!
I landed in Auckland on Jan. 16 and flew straight to the Bay of Islands Airport. I am in Paihia, picking up where I left off with time some spent on volunteer projects, visiting Karl's house, soaking in the sun. I also completed my Open Water Diving Certification!
Last night, however, disaster struck (again). Cyclone Wilma hit the North Island and caused some serious flooding.
