Oh how lovely! You are making me homesick!! Despite the delays, it sounds like you had a great flight and your clever kiddies did their mum and dad proud.
I went to the Takapuna campsite a long long time ago and I have great memories of it.
Hopefully you are not finding the kiwi accent too hard to understand having had the pleasure of listening to Bella and me over the last 6 months :o).
Give a big hug and a kiss to all the family from me and I will await your next update with eager anticipation.
