My Auckland trip

Watch the footage instead here:

27/10/2019

This was the first day of the trip. I flew out at 10:40am up to Christchurch, and we had an hour and a half layover before flying up to Auckland. When we arrived, we went straight to our accommodation to check in and put our bags down. We then decided it was best to walk down the road and get some bits and bobs to eat and drink like coffee, milk, bread and cheese. We grabbed some Maccas and headed back to the motel before going to bed for the night after eating.

This was the day of armageddon. We woke up early, and I got into cosplay as Wednesday Addams; we arrived at armageddon and went straight to the hall for the supernatural panel; I went up to the stage and was called cute by ruth before asking my question. I have grown up on supernatural, so to get to meet two of the cast members had my mind blown; I had pictures taken with a bunch of people and even went to Greggs pannel, did some shopping and then went back to the motel and got uber eats for tea which was Carles jr.

This day was probably the most exhausting of them all. We talked to the op shop not far from where we were staying then up to the mall; we then called an Uber to take us to a different mall and did a bunch of shopping at different shops; I brought bubble tea for the first time, which was fun and tasting amazing.

On the 30th we went and did the last of our shopping, even ate a massive pizza, we then went to the zoo, saw some amazing animals and went back to the motel, we decided to eat the food we had at the motel because we couldn't see the point in ordering in every night of our trip, plus it started to rain.

On Halloween, we went to the aquarium and saw some amazing fish, and I got to see some sharks up close; I have included a few photos below, but my youtube and Instagram have better photos and more of them. We caught the shark bus into the CBD and did a little bit more shopping, including getting Wendys for tea. And yes, I got a selfie with a shark.

We went to the airport at 10am because we didn't want to battle all the crowds and lug our bags along for ages, so we sat at the terminal for around nine hours before hopping on the plane and went home.

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters.   Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times.   My first bit of advice is to just talk about the move, explain why you’re moving and what to expect in an age-appropriate way so that they can better understand what is going on, talk about all the positives with the move    that would interest them from new experiences to making new friend...
