I took a lot of pictures on our trip to New Zealand. A lot. So instead of doing a quick upload of the greatest hits, I thought I'd post one day at a time so I can spend time writing a few captions and you can stop back over the next few weeks knowing the likelihood of seeing something new on a daily basis is quite high (well higher than before anyways). I didn't post many pictures during the trip as I didn't want to spend undue lengths of time on the computer. This trip was about seeing people and places and spending quality time, not about updating my Facebook status. So, here is a selection of pictures from day 1 of our trip to NZ:
We're Here!
Andy and Harry and Nicky met us at the Auckland airport after a long flight from Vancouver. We left Vancouver Wednesday night and arrived in Auckland on Friday morning. So much for Thursday! Photo by Nicky.

Tramp Action!
After a brief nap in the morning we were up and at it on our first day in Auckland. We spent a lot of time that day and every other day in Auckland on that trampoline at the Wurrs house.

Beautiful ladies at a beautiful lookout near Mission Bay in Auckland. This was the first day in a long string of days with perfect weather.

The polarizing filter caused the different colors of blues in the sky. Not sure what I can do about that.
Wrong Way
This dude was paragliding right over the houses at St. Helliers. I'm sure one wrong move and he would have crashed through someones window.

Supper time!
