This weekend has been incredible! I had my first taste of
Indian food and a trip with my girlfriends that will be in my memories
forever.
To
begin, my host sisters 12th birthday was Friday and to celebrate we
went to this incredibly delicious Indian restaurant. I had never had Indian before and was excited to try it!
Curry on curry on curry is all I can say! YUMMM!!! There’s this delicious bread
called Naan! Buttered Naan is right up my ally! LOVED IT!! After dinner we
finished the night with tea and ginger treat (a homemade bar that is to die
for) I swear I am going to gain
back every pound I’ve lost in the last few months!
Saturday
was the best day yet! My girlfriends from IU, Jordan and Cassie came with me to
the Auckland Beer Festival! We got to try beers from all around the world, and
the most famous from New Zealand as well! This event was held in The Cloud in
downtown Auckland. The cloud is
this beautiful building that sits on the harbor! Every view was gorgeous! What
beats good beer and a beautiful view?!
After
spending the day at the festival we walked along the harbor looking at the teal
water and thinking how lucky we are to be here! We found this delicious little Italian
restaurant on the sea and had yet another glass of Sauvignon Blanc and
incredibly delicious pizza! As if
the day couldn’t get any better, we got to watch all the lights in the city
turn on and reflect off the harbor!!! Such a great way to end the night! We
caught buses back to the north shore and were back in 20 minutes! Keeping this
bus thing in mind for the future!!! I felt like a real city girl finding her
way around!
Today
is Sunday here, and I am already in my bathing suit (called Toggs here)!! I
plan on heading to Brown’s Bay for some sushi lunch and a day reading in the sun
on the beach!! And tonight my host family is having a Barbi with all of their friends
to watch the Blue’s rugby game! I am loving life and wish I could tell you all
more, but the sun and surf are calling my name!!
