We arrived in Auckland the evening of the day Cyclone Lucy came to town. We fell asleep listening to the wild left over wind howl… I don’t think I’ve ever heard wind howl before, but it does, and it was a little unnerving. I couldn’t help but think about how poor Dorothy felt wizzing around in her house with toto. I obviously wouldn’t be waking up in oz but I did wonder if we’d wake to a massive tree branch crushing our hire car! Wild winds aside, day two is calmer and on to the Bay of Plenty we go…
