Good-bye New Zealand

After traveling up the west coast we arrived in Auckland to spend our last two nights with our 'New Zealand family', Karen, David, Lauren and Helena White. Their hospitality and the friendship they shared with us during our time here has made this trip more memorable and will remain with us forever.

Karen managed to whip up a Sunday night roast beef dinner on a Tuesday, and on the Wednesday we cooked dinner for them and the Duffy's as a small thank-you.
Our last night in New Zealand was spent with good friends, some old and some new, sharing stories, laughs and New Zealand wine one last time before we flew off to Tahiti.

Hopefully it won't be 20 years until we see them again, we would love to show them beautiful Oregon!
