... to apartment and cracked open a bottle of vino! She had goodies from home for us so we dug into a bag of taytos and had some sweets - very nice! The next day we went to the skytower and went up to the 51st floor which had cool views over Auckland. The harbour and parks in the city were gorgeous from that view. You can sky dive from the tower and we saw a boy hanging right outside in front of us ...

... forest to explore. Slipped in the rain and mud a lot going uphill, but it was fun anyway. Took a lot of backcountry roads around the area and walked far out into fields. Cambridge was a beautiful place, small and peaceful, and I enjoyed my time there. Reminded me a lot of Oregon and Washington, the rainy sides. However, with my time being short over the course of this 3 month adventure, I have been on the move. It was time to head Southward to ...

... the bunks. Next day we set off for a trek to the glacier at the foothill of Mount Cook. The walk was pretty tuff (i say this but there were 70+ers doing it) and the best things was watching gregs face go white when he saw the rope bridges we had to cross (the man who needed to hold on the both side of the escalator at Bank tube station refusing to allow rush hour Londoners to pass).

... growing on the cliffs of these islands as well as along the cliffs on the mainland. Our guide said that they are called New Zealand Christmas Trees. As we headed back towards Hahei Beach, our guide started to tell us a story about how the first Mauri discovered New Zealand. As he was telling us the story, a Little Blue Penguin swam by in front of our kayaks. The Little Blue Penguin and the Yellow Eyed Penguin are the two species of ...

... front of me got sick, one fainted and the other threw up. Very gross. Got in around 6 am and cant check into hostel until noon. Very tired and in dire need of a shower. Not that I smell just that I have been sweating ever since I got into NZ. Downtown Auckland seems a little dated but still very nice. The populace seems very nice. Walked to the ocean and remember why I ...
