Window Washers

Menu Monday is on hiatus this week.  In the meantime, I’ll share the following with you… You never know what you’ll see when you look out your window!

Waiheke Island

Chris and I finally took our trip to Waiheke Island.  Rather than making an overnight of it, we decided to just go for the day and save the extended trip for another time. We started out by walking to the Auckland Ferry Building.  We purchased our tickets and waited for the ferry to arrive. We [...]

Apartment Tour

Do you remember the first apartment tour that I took you on?  Back when it was empty and there was basically no furniture? Well, I finally got around to taking some more photos now that our gear has arrived.  It’s still not finished, but I wanted to show you our work-in-progress.  Over the next year, [...]

Moving Day Carnage

I’ve decided that for however long we’re in New Zealand – whether that is 5 years or 50 years – we are staying put.  No more moving, no more packing, no more unpacking – this is it. The thing about moving to another country is that you can’t just unpack and throw away the boxes.  [...]

Burger Fuel!

**Don’t forget to read my June book review and enter the giveaway!** One of the burger restaurants in New Zealand is Burger Fuel, a multi-national chain that started on Ponsonby Road in Auckland.  I wouldn’t classify Burger Fuel as being “fine dining”, but it isn’t exactly “fast-food” either.  There’s one about a 3 minute walk [...]

Auckland Domain

Chris and I did some more walking about town on Saturday.  We’ve walked all over the place! This time, we cut through the park across from our hotel.  We had a general destination of Auckland Domain, but no set route on how to get there. Here’s a photo that I snapped of Chris along the [...]

Video + Pictures in New Zealand!

Hello, my lovely readers!  We made it to New Zealand, and so far, so good. The flights weren’t bad.  Honestly, the worst parts of the trip in terms of service and overall comfort were on the domestic side of things.  Once we were on our Air New Zealand flight, things were great.  There were plenty [...]
