Good-bye New Zealand, Hello "San Francisco"

We left Dunedin last Thursday the 23rd of December, bound for Brisbane. It was very mixed feelings for us as we drove out of Dunedin (on a bus) to Christchurch. However, with lots of upcoming excitement, we haven't looked back.



We spent a few days in Brisbane for
Christmas. There was lots of great food and of course we managed to see all the family. We even shared our Christmas lunch (amazingly cooked by Chris and Greg) with a kookaburra and his friends!


We left on Boxing Day, headed for New York city. It was a very long flight but we got off for our San Francisco stop over very excited to see the sights for a day before flying to NY. However, we have stayed in San Francisco for a little longer than planned. A blizzard has hit New York and so no flights have made it into the city! Not to be beaten by this news, we are making the most of San Francisco and enjoying the warmer weather here.

After accidently sleeping for 13 hours we were woken in our hostel by the cleaner asking us to leave! We quickly found out we couldn't get to NY so have had a short day of sight seeing.









After much deliberation and time spent searching for internet cafes we made a big purchase. Can you guess what Petra is smiling about in this picture? it is very convienient and has a blogging app!
