Fannie's in Auckland!

Ohhhh myyyy, how happy am I! I spent four wonderful days on the island of Fiji. Thank you Iva, Mili (x2), Seni, Orisi, Seru, Fulori, Isei, Bandi, and Manu for your wonderful hospitality and showing me what Fiji is all about. I really can't express my gratitude. And oohhh my, the food was wonderful. Fijian grown veges and meats cooked in simple yet delightful ways. Midi (raw coconut mile with diced onions and tomatoes), mmmmm mmmmm good. And thank you, Seni, for showing me around Sigatoka and Suva. I love you all! Vinaka!!!

I've since flown into Auckland. Built my bike and trailer at the airport (where they have a bike building area, and free internet kiosks!), and rode into Manurewa (just a few miles from the airport) where I am staying now with fellow tourist Belinda and Roland (they rode from Alaska to Argentina) and their family. So far, New Zealand is so lovely and I'm so happy and grateful to be here. I'm just gonna get my bearings a little bit more, pop into a bike shop, get some contact solution, repack my trailer and take off tomorrow towards Rotorua, I think :)

Let the adventures begin!
