We went to Armageddon - a Sci Fi Convention - in Auckland with some expat friends and their kids (they are from Canada and South Africa. We had a lot of fun and got to Jamie Campbell Bower who played Vecna in Stranger Things. 

We also visited Kelly Tarlton’s which is the aquarium in Auckland. It was really cool and we got to see tuatara there. These are reptiles that look like lizards but aren’t because they split off before lizards. They are the only extant members of the order Rhynchocephalia. They are REALLY cool and there is a whole podcast about them. I highly recommend listening to it!
