5 days in Auckland is more then enough.  There is not a ton to do here that can't be accomplished in about 3 days.  I must say though it's been a great way to ease into the swing of things, especially the working balance for Jason.  We've certainly mastered the art of finding cute neighborhoods, and eating tons of yummy food (something SF living trained us well in). 

HOWEVER, I'm ready for adventure.  Give me sand tabbogoning, sea kayaking, jet-boating, and zorbing.  I crave something out of the familiarlity of my own life, which a city like Auckland doesn't necessarily provide.  I'm revved up and ready to go. 

Tomorrow we pack up the Toyota Corrola, and brave driving on the "right side" of the road as someone so blatantly corrected Jason.  We're heading up to the Bay of Islands for a couple nights which should be a spectacular excursion.
