NZ Trip Aug - Sept 2012

Monday 27th Aug & Tuesday 28th  - 2012


Finally the day had arrived for us to depart Brisbane to Auckland. We left home at 0915 for our trip down the Burce H/Way and headed for Brisbane Airport. We wanted to get there without any drama that we know the Bruce can create. Arrived in good time, parked the car high up in the carpark and headed to the terminal to check in as it was already open. Getting rid of the large heavy bags was such a bonus. We went off to get a coffee and fill in time before departure for our flight to Brisbane. We arrived in Auckland in good time and once through Imm and Customs made our way out to the free shuttle pick up area and were then taken to our overnight Formule1 Hotel. After checking in we went and got some dinner at a nice restaurant next door. Came back to our room and showered and into bed to watch some TV. Had a great night sleep and next morning made our way to the Auckland Domestic airport for our check in to Rotorua, where we then found a coffee bar and waited to board our flight to Rotorua. Once we arrived we were met by Pegasus Rental Car company with our rental which we then left and headed south toward Turangi where we will stay for 7nights at one of the NZ Police Holiday Homes. Enjoy the photos and I will add some more as time goes on. Oh on a crafty note I have finally managed to re arrange all my Digital Scrapping stuff into folders by Company then by what they are ie: flowers, ribbons - bows etc,papers,embellishments etc etc etc  - so now I have them all organised and easy to find.
