Auckland to Mount Maunganui: Part I

The famous soda in New Zealand called L&P

Now have I ate it in form of ice cream (as picture) and the chocolate, but never been drinking the soda... Time to do that

There are a lot of cows in the fields and of course we have to take pictures of them!

We kind of missed that sign

Some of the terrain look like jungle and I got the feeling of Jurassic Park

Mountains with old minors

shaky bridges

Johanna bought the classic Gifflar in a swedish store

"In the jungle, the mighty jungle..."

river through the mountains 

Yeeey, we made it to the vantage point

Congratulation my dear grandmother!

I wish you a wonderful day at your 74 years birthday, because I unfortunately can't celebrate it with you. I know you have a tough time now and I think of you every day and hope you get well soon again. My safety angel I got is with me all the time and I love you. Enjoy the cake as well, kisses and hugs 

Roadtrip - Mount Maunganui

Wiihooo, today have I been in New Zealand for one month and to celebrate that we go for a roadtrip saturday-sunday. I'm going to Mount Maunganui with two swedish girls called Johanna and Matilda and it takes about 3 hrs to drive. I post pictures after the weekend! See yaah

Love my life

Haha okey I drove wrong again like I predicted, but this time I really were confused and appeared on the motorway that I weren't supposed to get on. Thank God that Katja has her phone close so I can call her when I'm desperate and stressed out hahaha. This time we went to Glenfield for Agnes dance group, she is really good and loves to dance. I watch her dancing while I feed Viggo so he sits down and doesn't run around, well played Caroline! After that we walked upstairs to the playgroup. I liked that playgroup, nice and calm environment. Well a kind of luxury one because they had a real bunny jumping around, Viggo was delighted in that cute bunny. At home I builded a cool hut for Agnes and me, where I read some books for her and we ate crisps. Cosy! Then she didn't like it anymore so I builded her a car instead, a pretty precious one I think haha. 

In evening I went to Ashley's house where we pre drank and had a good time, then went out on a club in Takapuna. She is a kiwi and a really nice person, I will probably celebrate new years eve with her and her friends at a big music festival called Rhythm and Wines (it's placed on vineyards!!). We will see, but it turned out that her kids she takes care of live at my street so we might meet a lot and play with them together. Then we hopefully join the gym together, time to be fit! Another thing I hope will happen is that Jessi moves to north shore and only 10 min from me because her hostmother got a new job here, would be perfect because she lives maybe 45 min from me now. A lot is happening now and I  truly enjoy my life her, so much fun almost every day. Don't feel at home that I'm not missing you guys because I do and hope all of you actually were here with me! Lots of kisses and hugs from me.

Our hut, pretty good job I would say ;)

Hihi cosy time with Agnes

Her own car, I were a baby and we went with the bunny behind to the zoo and watched dangerous tigers!

Broom broooom!
Such a pretty girl I take care of.

C.H.A.O.S

My day have been chaos and now am I laying in bed exhausted, with ice cream...  It was my first time I went for the swimlesson all by myself and of course I drove wrong not one, not two but three times. Frustrated. We were late because of that and Viggo would obviously pee on the bench. His growing teeth also make him pain and he was worried and grumpy all day, poor Viggo. The morning tea after swimming didn't went well either. Finally at home Viggo fell asleep, but then was Agnes a bit grumpy so when he woke up I took them to playground to meet Ashley and her kids. I'm going out with her tomorrow and both of us need to party haha, promise it's hard to take care of two children even if I most of time like it. Tonight I were supposted to meet a swedish au pair, but I really need a night at home to relax so hopefully I meet her next week :) The good thing today was the taconight with my family. It was a long time ago I ate tacos and almost felt I were home in Sweden. Fingers crossed that tomorrow goes better, the I'll drive even more complicated way. 

Goodnight everyone! 

Normal days

Sorry for bad update, but today have I been really tired and exhausted. I use more energy with the kids during day than I'm used to haha and then I'm really good (I have to say) to go to the gym here. There is not much happening right now than work on days and in free time meet some new friends, like friend dates ;) My english might be bad now and thats because of my tiredness every night when I upload things on the blog.
Monday: first gym, worked half day and took the kids to playgound down beach for riding their scooters. Fun even though it was windy! Later I met a swedish girl in town and we ate thai food (my fourth place where I try Pad Thai), we had a great time.
Yesterday: Went to playground in my suburb and met two girls studying to be nannies. At home Agnes and me had a story time, relaxing for me. Then we played a lot more. Later I met two other swedish girls to plan our road trip for this weekend, more about that later on.
Soon: Take the kids to swim lesson all by my self!

Looks like he is a crazy professor, but he enjoy his toy very much.

Too good to be true for being a three year old kid, I'm proud of her!

Run Forest run... haha he loves to be haunted

Windy afternoon tea

During afternoon tea: birds are dangerous if you ask Agnes and thrilling if you ask Viggo

She made this cute mask on playgroup

She is pretending to be Madicken jumping from the roof 

My gorgeous princess (she wanted a knot in her hair when she saw mine)

(but her hair is too smooth so we had to put three hairbands to get it stuck!)

First they liked to play making food, yesterday the kitchen was car

I know it's bad... but I had to have one when I met my friends 

All Blacks vs. South Africa

I were at the bar saturday evening with Saskia, Sarah and Jess to watch the big rugby game New Zealand against South Africa. Actually the game was in Auckland, but the tickets were sold out. All blacks won of course! What I need though is to learn the rules because it's the national sport here. Afterwards we stayed for some beers and had ha great time together.

Sarah, Jessi and Saskia

Go All Blacks!!

We found out that the cigarets packages are really ugly...
