Time for our first road trip in New Zealand. We are travelling from Wellington to Napier, which is usually a 3 hour trip, but we got a big traffic jam up in Parauparaumu so the trip in the end took 4 and half hours. We hit the road after a noon lunch. It was a really nice trip full of sightings and the roads are very well maintained.   When we got near...

It’s still raining like crazy and today a disaster happened, when I woke up and decided to turn on my laptop the thing wouldn’t turn on. I spent the whole morning trying to figure out what might be wrong, I finally had to take it to a repair shop up in Porirua, and since tomorrow we are leaving to Napier I had to pay extra to have the revision in a hurry,...

The last couple of days it has been pouring rain so we haven’t had a chance to do much. Yesterday we picked up our rental car, the first driving experience was a big adventure because here in New Zealand they drive on the other side of the road, so everything is inverted. We got a Nissan Sunny which is actually a nice car for us, plenty of space both in the...

Yesterday we went to the Te papa Museum, they had an European Masters exhibition. We didn’t post anything because they don’t allow to take pictures. So today we went to Capital E (Capital E is the culture and arts building for the kids), they had a special exhibition called Woodland Christmas. We walked the ocean front and then crossed a bridge to...

Today it was a slow day because it was raining and foggy. I decided to take a girls to the mall for a cake and some shopping. We walked all the mall (we are girls!), we saw everything and bought almost nothing. I bought the girls a reindeer nose and horns. The girls had a Mississippi mud cake and chocolate milkshake, and I had a Chocolate caramel. Of course...

Hello everybody, today we went to the Weliington Zoo. Like almost every day we took the train, in the station Saraí was in the mood for another photoshoot, she began to pose and asked me to take pictures of her. It’s almost impossible to take picture of both of the girls together, Raquel always running around. In the station we took a bus to...

Hello, everybody. We had a busy week since the weather forecast said that on the weekend it will be raining, so we had to go to the city all the weekdays. Today we went to Te Papa museum again. We finished what we couldn’t finishing yesterday and also we finished the 3rd floor. We were asked how the Christmas is celebrated here: it’s the same. Here is...

Today we went to the Te Papa museum. As now you know, to get to the museum we took the train from Linden Station to Wellington’s Railway Station, then we walked on the ocean front. The museum is quite big, it’s 6 floors, so today we only got to see almost one. It’s divided by floors and sections, so each section has a children section, so the girls can...

The gilrs had chocolate cookies with M&M’s and cholate milkshake. We had a tuxedo chocolate cake and a hot chocolate with marshmallows. When Saraí finished her cookie she told us: mom I want more!...
