902 Great South Road, Manukau City Auckland, North Island, New Zealand, 64-9-266-8016
Left camp site around 10:30AM heading for Auckland City; wanted to visit the One Tree residential area for a look around and Satnav took us into a park which you can drive through. This park is about 5 Miles from the city centre and there were sheep everywhere!! A beautiful location with panoramic views over the city if you clime to the cenotaph at the top of the hill. Tracey wanted to find the Jade factory in Auckland centre, so I typed the address into the Satnav and off we went, only to en...
Manukau, North Island, New Zealand awsome
We decided that we would like to see more of the illusive Kiwi bird so we headed down into Rotorua to participate in the kiwi encounter. This was a one hour tour at the local wildlife centre focused on the conservation work taking place to save the dwindling kiwi population. Along a similar theme to the turtles in Borneo the eggs of wild kiwis are collected and incubated and the chicks raised until they are large enough to be released back into the wild, this is due to the fact that there...
Saturday 1 November Manukau S 37° 00.5' E 174° 53.5' After breakfast "out" Keith was visited by a cousin, who took a picture to prove to Chris Cole that we had in fact met, and I moved on at about 10:30. The road immediately crossed the Thames river, which was so named by Capt Cook because of its resemblance to the Thames in London - and it did indeed look very like the photo I took all those weeks ago in Tilbury. (The NZ Thames has a traffic-light controlled one-way bridge, so I couldn't sto...
Manukau, North Island, New Zealand pete-r... four hanging around at Sydney airport, I was not best pleased, especially as I was eventually dismissed without having had anything confiscated. I found an airport bus to take me to my (prebooked) hotel in Queen Street, Auckland (central down-town Auckland). It was much the nicest hotel of my entire trip so far (fluffy towels, glorious hot water in the wonderful shower, acres of soft white linen sheets, temperature ...
Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand castewart... not knowing hard. I am sure that after doing a year of the social events, we will be much more familiar with expectations. We certainly don't want to look like a charity or appear stingy, but we don't want to go over the top either!!
We had a great end to the week with an adventure to Karekare beach up the west coast. Yet another wild beach with black sand, amazing scenery and huge surf. On the way we stopped at R and R Sport to grab some wetsuits for ...
... zu fragen und versteht irgendwie gar nicht, warum mich das ueberhaupt so aufregt. dann fragt sie mich auch noch wann ich abreise, weil sie scharf auf mein bett ist. ICH GLAUBE ES GEHT LOS!
und dann, ich kann es eigentlich immer noch nicht richtig fassen, ist meine speicherkarte ploetzlich nicht mehr lesbar (CARD ERROR) und ich gehe in einen fotoshop der sie einfach heimlich formatiert, weil er meint, danach erst koenne man versuchen ...
... on kohdallaan, maksettiin 7 yosta ja safkoista (jokapaiva isot setit ainakin 2 kertaa) ja juomista (kohtuullisesti mutta reilusti) alle 900 eskoa. Ja biitsi majoituksen vieressa oli ehka reissun hienoin. Jos siis mietit menetko Fidjille vai Tongalle, niin ehdottomasti Tongalle. Ja Tongasta lisaa (jos kiinnostaa http://www.pmo.gov.to/ tai http://www.tongaholiday.com/ Aucklandissa ollaan, vetta sataa, asteita joku kyba ja jotenkin ...
Auckland, North Island, New Zealand miiajussi... rack. This prompted, deservedly I think, utter hysterics. Brilliant! Rotarua- That morning I said goodbye to Grif, who I had been with for all but a few days in my time in NZ. I was pretty alright, but he was reduced to pitiful sobbing. Poor guy. I spent the day chilling out with a girl called Alex who was the only other person continuing to Rotarua that day. At Rotarua I made dinner with Alex, then watched The Mask with some other people from the hostel. Not too ...
Auckland, North Island, New Zealand belahanratty... t been following me because I have NO idea where to go!" We all hit it off and wandered around the grape fields until we finally found Stonyridge, gorgeous estate! We then met another guy, and then had myself the America, an Irish girl, a Welch and an English guy. A diverse crew! We had a great time and all took the ferry back to Auckland, and I wound up going out with Sara and one of her dorm ...
Auckland, North Island, New Zealand dholtze... and forests rising steeply. A row of slender trees stood tall and straight, their branches sweeping upwards and tilting backwards ever so slightly, resembled a chorus line just about to burst into the can-can. We were very close to the location of HOBBITON from the Lord of The Rings Trilogy. All film sets were supposed to be destroyed after filming, but bad weather stopped the dismantling ...
