It was a touch warmer and dryer when we arrived in Auckland, and we were over our sicknesses, so we came out of our shells a bit to explore another beautiful city. Please enjoy some photos! : )
Beautiful spot for a potty break halfway between Wellington and Auckland : )
Beautiful view from our 9th story Airbnb in Auckland
Ferry building on the Auckland waterfront … yeah, it’s quite beautiful
Hands down, the happiest dogs on the North Island of New Zealand
AJ showing off her skills at the World Cup Fan Fest in Auckland
Chris showing his keeper skills at the World Cup Fan Fest in Auckland. Yeah Chris, you deny that 8 year old from scoring!!
Beautiful rainbow on our way to Eden Park, the Auckland stadium where we watched USA and Portugal play to a 0-0 draw.

Everything about that post makes me happy. The dogs. The denying of an 8-year-old (was a meg involved)? The view from the rental!!! And the smiles from the pitch. Yeah team!
Yeah, a meg, a slide tackle, a red card and a stretcher may have all been involved. Lessen to be learned … don’t mess with 8 year old’s!
That said, I’ve got a better potty in mind. But it’s in Colorado. And I didn’t take a picture. But hey. It’s a potty.
What a beautiful place. Enjoy your time there.
Thanks Robin!!
Loved all the photos. Thanks for sharing. ❤️🌈👏
You’re welcome Joline!! 😁
Yep, BEAUTIFUL! Even the potty, which I initially thought was a phone both (oh, how novel. They still have those? . . . oh.; nevermind).
They do still have phone booths in other parts of the world (especially Briton). Ironically tho, they all smell like potty’s 😋
