May 18th -May 19th Hello Again Auckland

I have been back in Auckland for my final two days of training. Not only can being in a classroom situation for a full on eight hours be exhausting, but also the 5:30am start on the first day to get there in time for a 9am start. Once you hit the big smoke, traffic is bumper to bumper and at a snail's pace.

Fortunately I only had to endure the 5:30am start for one day, thanks to a friend's generosity of the use of her home for the night - she is away, so it was much appreciated. I wasn't alone however due to these chatty little acquaintances, who were very camera shy when I tried to get up close and personal
