Safely in Auckland!

After three confusing, hot, and humid days of frequent frustrations punctuated by moments of incredible beauty, we survived our journey to Samoa and made it safely to Auckland, where the weather is much more in agreement with our Scandinavian sides. We are staying the night in a Hilton, thanks to Adam's points, and appreciating the existence of a shower that has two handles, not just the cold water handle (although it was so hot in Samoa that you didn't actually want a hot shower). We even survived our first attempt at driving on the left hand side of the road in our rental car. Look for a more detailed post on Samoa soon!
