今天是旅程中的又一次启程。中午十二点的飞机飞往新西兰奥克兰。登机前在机场又处理了一会儿工作，落地时已是傍晚五点半。奥克兰的入境流程和澳大利亚相似，机器通关很快，但因为要申报随身带的零食，排队花了不少时间。海关工作人员拦下了我们的牛肉干——他说一般情况下可以入境，但因为包装已经开封，只能作废。于是，只好眼睁睁地看着它进了回收箱。

This morning, the sun was out again. Yesterday, we bought our ferry and hop-on-hop-off bus combo tickets in advance for Waiheke Island (pronounced WHY-heck-ee). Located in the Hauraki Gulf, Waiheke is known for its vineyards, beaches, and relaxed holiday vibe. It takes about 45 minutes by ferry from downtown Auckland.
