Kia Ora...
Moving to a new country is not a piece of cake, they say. For us it was exactly that - a piece of cake when we decided and moved to the magnificent, the youngest, the green fresh country of New Zealand and its largest city Auckland. It was piece of cake as we savor the taste of it - but as any baker would know, making a piece of cake is not an easy task. It needs preparation, proper ingredients and precise baking techniques. The days leading upto our departure from Bangalore to Auckland were something similar like baking a cake - running around to different offices, mailing this guy, that guy, contacting those travel agents - getting visas ready - accommodation, tickets - damn it was hectic. We even almost missed our flight when the snob-head driver of the cab we booked did not turn up. But when we finally landed at Auckland after a long tiring flight of 24-hours, we were astounded by the city and gradually we started falling for it.
New Zealand is picturesque, almost everyone in the world seems to know this. Glad this is not a myth !! It is indeed simply stunning. Glorious vistas from North to South. This is the Middle Earth of LOTR....In last 10 months of stay, we have travelled many places in the country from North to South through ever changing landscapes, terraces, lakes, acres of farm lands, green bushes, seas and more seas. We are mesmerized, thrilled. We are excited to learn the new culture, excited to meet new people and make some new friends.
We hope coming days have more good in store for us in this pacific country ehh !!!
