Thursday we went to the annual Singapore Airlines event - for their frequent flyers...... This year it was organised at The Cloud - mezzanine, and it was a great venue for so many people. And this year it was the chef from The Grove - our favourite restaurant in Auckland.... so the food was amazing! And as always we met some very interesting people - so a really good night!
Back to 'normal' life again and I've started in the studio again - which I've missed. Thursday we went to the annual Singapore Airlines event - for their frequent flyers...... This year it was organised at The Cloud - mezzanine, and it was a great venue for so many people. And this year it was the chef from The Grove - our favourite restaurant in Auckland.... so the food was amazing! And as always we met some very interesting people - so a really good night! Friday night we went out with Russell, Gaye and Nick (Alie's is Australia) and we started with a pre-dinner drink at Jack Tar. And then Russell and Gaye had made reservations in a new place - as a surprise. Love surprises. So we walked from Jack Tar into the industrial area of North Wharf and we were all wondering where we were going - as we couldn't imagine a restaurant in this area.... Suddenly Russell stopped and said 'we have arrived at our Waka' - and there was this big beautiful campervan that they had just bought..... What a surprise!! So we were invited inside and had to celebrate with bubbles - of course. And then Russell and Gaye had organised dinner in the campervan - such a lot of fun!! The only 'problem' is that now we all want a campervan so that we can all go in convoy :D

No matter how nice it is to travel - it's always so good to get back home :) So the only problem was that I got sick the last day in Copenhagen - as usual.... I just can't take the Danish germs - my body is not used to them any more... But then again - the whole family was sick, not just one of them, but all of them - so if I hadn't gotten sick it would have been a miracle. But even though I'm used to it, it's never nice to fly when you're sick. So I was put straight to bed, they took my temperature every 5 hours and supplied me with hot water bottles, tea with ginger and lemon, etc. The perfect service from Singapore Airlines! And we've now been home for just over a week - and I'm still sick. I'm coughing my lungs out at the moment, and I'm getting so bored here doing nothing else than watching TV and reading.... so something's gotta change!
At least we got back to the most amazing weather and the last part of the Volvo Ocean Race celebrations. It's still 26 - 28 degrees during the day and so hot at night that it's difficult to sleep. And then we just had 'Pam' - Pam the super storm. Which turned out to be OK for Auckland - but not so good for Vanuatu. We had a bit of rain during the night and a little bit of wind, but nothing serious, so I think Auckland was lucky - very lucky. Now we're waiting to see what happens around lunch time when Pam should hit Gisborne... And then we've already started planning the next trip. In July we're meeting up with Russell and Gaye in Copenhagen! Russell and Gaye are doing a 7 weeks trip around Europe and they finish off with 4 days in Copenhagen before going back home to NZ. So we're desperately trying to fit in everything there is to see in Copenhagen - in 4 days - not easy!! So much to see, so little time..... But I'm sure we'll come up with the 'perfect' plan eventually :D We arrived in Copenhagen Saturday around lunch time and Mette picked us up in the airport and drove us to Tina and Janus's place. Both Tina, Janus and Lucas are sick - down with the flu. But it's OK - the weather is not the best - so we have to stay inside anyway - so we all cuddle up on the sofa :) We are spending 3 nights at Tina and Janus and 3 nights at Mette and Morten's. After three nights at Tina and Janus we moved to Mette and Morten's |
