Today we took the girls to the movies to watch Megamind in 3D. We went to Reading Cinemas up in the North City Mall in Porirua. This was actually a big cinema and in the lounge it had some arcade games, one of them was a Japanese one in which you had to control a kind of an electrical hand that went up and down and had a small bar used to push the boxes. The idea is...

First thing we have to do is take the train from Linden Station to Wellington’s...

Our first day was not so great because Raquel got sick in the middle of the nigh, we think she ate something that didn’t quite agree with her stomach, this made us stay at home to let...

The trip itselt is a rather long one, about 12 hours, Wellington is about 600km away from Auckland but the reason the train takes so long is that it slows down when going through landmarks and...

Since the girls are to small to watch the movie, Sol and I took turns to watch...
