Auckland Condos - Reviews and Rates

My plane left Los Angeles on February 25 at 7:30 pm and was a little over a 12 hour flight, but it arrived on February 27 at 5:00 am. I was allowed a free stopover with my airline ticket in Auckland (the biggest city in New Zealand) and decided to take a day and a half there before heading to the South Island for the Discipleship Training School...

We left the UK in style flying business class with BA to San Fran. At the airport I nearly ran the sniffer dog over as it was so small and went under my rucksack and I didn't see it (it would only happen to me, we did laugh). As part of our morning ritual we had our makeup done in Maceys, they had the most amazing make up, including makeup in al...

Travel..what is it good for...absolutely nothing? I reckon that the reason for travel varies as much as there are people in the world. Tasting exotic food, capturing serene landscapes, learning a new language or maybe discovering a little bit about yourself. Everyone has their own reason for going out and taking in the air of a new place. Im not...

We have arrived in Auckland, a bit tired due to missing an entire day and waking up at 4AM. What a big change to be in the city again. Makes you realize how small island life can be. Will write more as things unfold.

Just getting the map pin back in New Zealand. I got back to a kindly left message on my mobile telling me I had a room booked which meant I could stay in a backpackers and get the VERY important pile of washing done straightaway. My bag was humming, in fact I didn't bother carrying it, it made its own way. The next day I did some web stuff, incl...

Go to the Summary Page ___________________________ A few days in Auckland to try update the travelogue... still have a few days of work ahead of me, to update older entries I was lazy on. I finally retrieved my Xma s parcel, sent by my mum: it was sent to Lisa's in Melbourne, but got there after I had left for Sydney. Then Lisa tried to send it ...

Hiya folks! Alex and I had a fantastic first day in Auckland. We went on a 5.5 hour wilderness excursion with a group of 5 other tourists and our 2 tour guides. We drove from one side of the north island to the other and explored various ecological attractions along the way. We walked along the beach where the film "The Piano" was filmed. The sa...

I head out early for a very quick whirlwind tour of the northern island of New Zealand over the week I have off. My first stop is Auckland, the largest city. It's not terribly different from most other cities, and I'm not particularly inspired to take many photos, except of the tower and one of the buildings that is similar in style to one I saw...

So what does it all mean? Well, it stems from what I learned while abroad and how that manifested into my decision to leave NZ early and head back to the US. Now starts a ramble of facts and realizations that lead to the conclusion of leaving NZ: I tried to have as little unrealistic expectations of this trip from the get-go. This, however, is i...

There were some hungover people hanging around the hostel on New Years Day, including some people who hadn't slept all night. Hearing the news that a guy had been stabbed in the neck in The Mellick confirmed that I'd made the right decision in going to the beach. I woke up early and felt as fresh as a daisy, and was soon playing table tennis wit...
