Day 1 of trip to Tonga, Stopover in New Zealand

Our trip to Tonga was over 9 days long. We went

on 8 different airplanes, 7 different airports, 3 boat

rides, 4 different islands and countless rides in the back

of the car on windy bumpy roads, lots of throwing up from

all the motion. It was definitely a trip unlike any other. We

took over 1000 pictures so I will post one day at a time on here.

We had a 10 hour layover in Auckland, so one

of Dave's companions from his mission came

and picked us up from the airport. First we went

to the sky tower that overlooked the harbor and

downtown Auckland.

Then we went to the New Zealand museum, which

was really amazing.

We went to a show where they did singing and

dancing and of course, the maori war dance.

A hand woven sail.

This old house inside was amazing. It was all

hand carved and painted.
