It was ten years today that I arrived at Auckland Airport at 5:30AM, having gone through customs for the first time in my life (after a 14 hour flight) and hoping that I recognized a man I had only seen on my computer screen.
Today we celebrated the anniversary in our own weird unique way with Burger King at Pig Out Point to watch the ocean and feed the gulls as we eat.
Before I could get the food out of the bag, Hubby jumped out of the car. He then placed one of our mantel candle holders on the hood bonnet to make it a candlelight dinner lunch. Needless to say, it was perfect.
After that we soaked in the mineral pools for a while to relax. It's always a treat to sit in a jacuzzi full of very warm bubbly water every now and then.
All in all a great day together.
Here's to ten more great years!

Happy anniversary to you two romantics. The candlesticks were an inspired thought; that man must be a Keeper. Love the shot of the posing gull.

What a lovely thing to do, the seagull looks quite curious at what you're up to. Happy Anniversary :-)
That is sweet and pretty brave of you to leave home and travel across the world. The gull on the hood between the candles is cracking me up. I've had a seagull fly away with an entire Burger King Big Fish sandwich right outta my hand in Florida.
Happy 10th anniversary then, Betty!!
I believe easily that life in NZ must be quite different from that in the UK!
I dearly wish to come to NZ soon and discover the its fauna including the Keas and any parrot, although this year it seems that I might join my son in Tasmania on his boat!
Many thanks for kind visit :)
Keep well
