Homeward Bound

We have about 10 hours left until we leave this lovely place. Got the bikes all packed up and all our gear as well. We'll kick around Auckland for the day until our plane leaves NZ time at 11 pm...then we arrive in LA before we left at 2 pm LA time :). I was going to post a bunch of pics right now but realized I left the connecting cord in a different bag which is locked up at the hotel for the day. Oh well. Pics soon. Yesterday we took a ferry over to Waiheke Island and toured a couple wineries, had lunch on the island, took a little bus tour. On the ferry coming back we saw the dorsal fins of a few orca whales. It was at quite a distance by the time we made our way over to the other side of the ferry...thrilling nonetheless. So, if ever you cannot find me either check the raspberry patch or the beaches of New Zealand, possibly floating around in one of those way cool kayaks we paddled at Hahei.
