NEW ZEALAND RESTRICTIONS LIFTED | First day out in Auckland City since lockdown
New Zealand finally loosened lockdown restrictions on 14 May 2020 bringing us down to alert level 2, meaning most shops could reopen again when previously it was pretty much only supermarkets and pharmacies. Cafes and restaurants under level 2 were allowed to have dine-in customers again. Under level 3, only takeaways and deliveries were allowed.
We had been staying home and indoors pretty much ever since we arrived back in NZ in March except for the occasional grocery run and flu jab. Therefore the day after it officially became level 2 in NZ, we decided to head out and take a stroll about Auckland city for an afternoon. We went around visiting Auckland retail stores to see what the situation was like for businesses and give our support where we could.
Peter (and mum) had been in dire need of a good hair cut. Thankfully under level 2, hair dressers could reopen again so we visited our hairdresser Andy who owns Urban Hair Studio. His shop is situated right outside the apartment we use to live in. Andy is a really nice guy so if you're in Auckland CBD and after a fresh cut, visit Urban Hair Studio. You'll need to make an appointment though, he's a very popular guy!
