Auckland

It's about a 10-hour drive from Wellington to Auckland.  Oh well, it had to get done.

New Zealand has a population of about 4.4 million, and 1.4 million of them live in Auckland - over 30% of the population.  Rugby is their national sport, so it's exciting to be here for the World Cup.  We're staying in a really nice area called Remuera, which is about 3 miles south of downtown.


Eden Park is the Mecca of rugby here.  We watched France beat England in one quarter-final, and New Zealand beat Argentina in the other.




Pretty decent seats for the NZ - Argentina match.  What an experience!
