21 days away...

Exactly 3 weeks away. Obviously we haven't taken any pics yet, but here's a couple of pics from Virtual Oceania.net .

Auckland CBD seen from the north shore.

View towards the city from the west. The Waitakere Ranges, which we hope to live near.

According to our Kiwi friends, west is best, and not only because it rhymes. Waitakere Eco-City is beautiful area surrounded by rain forests and a gorgeous beach called Piha, where the film The Piano, and the TV shows Xena and Hercules were filmed. The city council seems very focused on the health of the environment, and I absolutely love that... especially coming from a city as dirty as New Orleans.
