Hey!

Sorry it's been a while, I haven't had net access for a couple of days.
Spent Friday at the beach with old camp friend Tim. Went to Piha beach on the other side of the Waitakere ranges and swam in the Tasman Sea. The waves were big, and the scenery fantastic! I took many photos. Then we ended up on the other coast and checked out things in the Pacific Ocean. Quite a feat to swim in two oceans in one day!! Pretty cool. The water is still quite warm, considering it is the end of beach season here.

I also got to meet some "friends of friends" last week, met up with people and finally put faces to names. Everyone has been so nice and helpful so far.

Checked out a couple of apartments. It's going to be pricey living in the city, but the nice thing is they have smaller lease terms here. So I can do a place inner city until I find something cheaper in a few months if I have to.

I still have another week and a half in the hotel so things aren't getting too stressful yet!
Weather continues to be gorgeous! Can't imagine that it is going to be winter again for me soon, although my snowboard sitting lonely in the corner is calling my name!
