I’m home, and it’s amazing.  Spending quality time with family, catching up with friends I haven’t seen in nearly two years, visiting old haunts, soaking up that all-important Vitamin D.  Not a bad recipe for a holiday!

 Reunited with my favourite sun lounger

This is Mac, and yes – he is consistently this cute.

I love this view of central Auckland from Mount Eden

Blissing out to be dosing up on Vitamin D AND have my toes in the Pacific

And then we saw five dotterel, one of New Zealand’s rarest birds with only 1500 around!

Muriwai is one of the many stunning black sand beaches on Auckland’s West Coast

Coming soon: Waiheke Island, more Auckland city loving, and as much sunshine as I can pack in!  To keep up to date with all my escapades, follow me on Instagram here.
