Flights were significantly cheaper from Christchurch so yesterday, we loaded up the car and headed north. We stayed at a sketchy place... but luckily we only had to endure for a few hours until our 7 am flight this morning. Here's some footage of our road trip to Christchurch:
 Scott and Owen/Owie (his friend from home who goes to Uni in Auckland now) picked us up in Auckland after a night spent in Christchurch and the 6 of us headed straight up to Scott's bach in the Bay of Islands. We did a lot of singing, stopped for groceries and booze, and bonded in the soccer mom mini van.   We pulled up to the bach with a large gate and wall and entered to find a paradise of breathtaking views and immaculate gardens. our faces upon arrival to the gates: 
After a quick unloading of bags and groceries, we hit the road for a quick tour of the area and surrounding towns. Truly an island place.
First stop was a beach:

Then we drove to town to check out the cute stores and for a celebratory beach beer from the oldest inn in new zealand
 |
| a beach beer to celebrate making it up there! |

Then the rains came and we made our way back home for Owie's famous cheese platter. It sure was tasty!
 |
| owie's cheese platters. delicious! |
Then we got a tour of the dungeon. {the property used to belong to some drug lord} it was sketchy as.
   Our precious erin:  And I decided to sleep outside under the stars. It was beautiful except for waking up to heaps of bug bites all over my face and arms...  |
| erin creeping as i slept blissfully on the deck all night |
