Stopped in Otaki (part of our two day journey to Auckland) at the @icebreakernz outlet store for some necessary shopping. We were taken care of by the delightful Ashleigh who provided outstanding customer service. Thanks!

The total cost of our two day car rental from Wellington to Auckland. As long as you get there in 48 hours, you only pay for the gas. pic.twitter.com/BsAsOHD0HD

We are sharing one of these for elevenses at Brotzeit in Ponsonby. It is delicious. This is not the one we ate. We had this one in Berlin in 2010! pic.twitter.com/inIxAsINYX

Back at Brotzeit for elevenses and another delicious Johannisbeerstreuselschnecke. Great place at the corner of Ponsonby and Jervois that wasn't here last year. pic.twitter.com/eUwj6c84MZ

Susan and Richard Tozer (Susan's 3rd cousin, once removed). Susan found him through a DNA match at Ancestry. Richard gave us an extended tour of the area surrounding central Auckland, including several excellent vantage points. Thanks Richard! pic.twitter.com/3IqFdC7suY

Sadly this is our last day in New Zealand this year. But it's been a beautiful day in Auckland and even the traffic isn't too bad on the way to the airport … 🙂

Perhaps even more sadly, @slknowles had to put shoes on for the first time in nine weeks … ☹️
