The night was very long, we take breakfast at McDonalds and then we head to the door of the taxi, or a deluge of rain we just icing on the back. I am looking for the anoraks in suitcases, what joy. It takes half an hour between Brisbane airport and our hotel "Hotel City" ($ 310 for 3 nights). With all the comfort. We watch TV, depression is planned just for our three days in Auckland. We leave the hotel to go to tourists, but we renton almost immediately as fatigue is felt for all the world. Right next to the hotel there is a pizzeria that we change the sandwich the night before.

A Year to the day we took a plane to come here today in Australia and at the same time we will resume for one of New Zealand. On this day it is very beautiful over 30 °, we take the ferry to the continent or is a taxi waiting for us to the airport. What organization! Unfortunately the taxi ($ 100) of Redland in Brisbane for four people is more than an hour late, we're used to but now we think of his plane. Finally arrived at the airport is not all over, and the troubles continue. Small problem with the plane tickets, we took a return to Australia when he should have been taken back to a French territory. So we bought on the spot back to Noumea for a fee of $ 3200 we will be refunded.

Later we pass through customs and my husband is searched to see if there was no trace of powder on him. I just had all the time to buy a packet of cake and a few souvenirs. Small precision should always get ahead when you take a plane because for us every time it was stress, speed, between overweight baggage or changes in airline tickets. Finally we are in this famous aircraft as expected (the pacific blue). Small plane, a small company, but the low price hostesses are friendly and you sell $ 24 sandwiches. After three hours and two time zones we get to Auckland Airport is 0:15 in the morning and so we spend the night on the benches of the airport as we booked for the next morning.

Our Nissan Patrol is still sold so we are bringing to my stepfather and I think it will be his neighbor Barry who sell for us. We let him have all the instructions inside the car. We are two days of departure for a month of vacation in New Zealand to return to Australia. I finished preparing the bags, one per person plus a small canteen. Meanwhile my husband the last rule his father's papers are in English.

At this point we do not know exactly how long we will stay in this small island. We had the coordinates of people living there by a friend of my stepfather, his name Mark (soon to retire from medicine). We sent them a mail explaining that we were looking for a rental a month. Their response was quick, for they even searched the world to keep their home for three months they would leave on vacation in Europe. In response to this mail we thought it would be a good opportunity to stay and see. Instead of spending a month we should stay there five months. Why not. This family consists of a dad, a mom and two boys (2 and 4 years). They have a business to "Kayak". This is all we know for now. The deal would take care of the house and children. To see our arrival which approximates more and more. The next day nothing much to tell, just a bit of rest and check all before our flight.

We just spent two months on the island and saw my father-in jeans Christian Macleay Island which is located in Queensland to restore our personal and material before taking the road to new adventures. Our dream has come true and we do not believe yet but we all come to even visit any part of Australia for some people it is a continent far away from home. Now we must prepare for the end of Australia because we had a tourist visa for one year and the date expires. For me it took my passport again at the Embassy in Sydney
