Ok, so today is Friday 28th January, 2:58pm my time.
Since the last update, my sunburn has kind of gone, but now I have some very weird tan lines where I didn't reach far enough down my back with the old sun cream.
Last weekend, I went away to Waiheke Island from Thursday to Sunday, about a 40 minute ferry ride from mainland …
Bank Holiday already!
So, figured I'll do this once a week from now on, so I'm not just talking rubbish each time.
My Visa Card was frozen by Natwest twice in the last week because I've withdrawn money from over here. Not sure how many times I have to tell them I'm in New Zealand! I'm only taking it out of cash points beacuse the online transfer won't work …
I know when I'm coming home!
Monday was the last day of the bank holiday weekend, but pretty much everything remained open as normal unlike England. Julie let me know that they have picked up all of my stuff from 'home' and it is in her attic, so as soon as the house is sold, I will be 'of no fixed abode'. Had an email and Imogen update from Claire which was nice :) I like …
3 weeks down.......
Feet still hurt! Think it might be in the starting stages of developing in my left foot now! Grrr. So today, I have a trial / interview at Mecca Cafe on the Viaduct Harbour, quite a posh area for waitressing. It's at 2:00pm my time. Minimum wage I'll be on is $16 per hour (8pounds!). I keep thinking about the interview I have at the Hilton on …
My last full week in Auckland
I got up at 7:00am and had a webcam chat with Sharon, Caitlin, Ryan, Poppy and Lili-Anne this morning, which was lovely. I went and sat on the computers in my pyjamas with my bed hair, but not many people were around so it was ok :) I didn't do a lot for the rest of the day, just used the free internet at IEP.
Tuesday....

“DO NOT STAY HERE”
Reviewed Feb 27, 2012
Whilst the hostel has all the amenties that you could possibly want, they have a major problem with theft.
I personally got $200 stolen whilst I was staying in a private room, and a guy that I met was also robbed but he lost $1000 during a fire alarm.
I personally would never stay here again

“Terrible showers”
Reviewed Nov 30, 2011
Good on the whole, but the lifts are a liability and the showers are awful.

“Backpacker Queen Street”
Reviewed Sep 4, 2011
Plein centre ville, un bâtiment moderne de 7 étages, excellent emplacement. Par contre le reste laisse un peu à désirer. Chambre surchauffée, réception au 3ème étage. Quand on arrive de la rue l'accès n'est pas évident. Mais la qualité est largement satisfaisante pour le prix.

“Friendly Atmosphere”
Reviewed Jun 9, 2011
Staff were very friendly and helpful. It's a pretty big hostel, so it's a not as warm and cozy, making it a little harder to meet people. :D

Stayed for one night in a twin room with a friend. Great room with fridge too - lovely and clean and had a good night's sleep. Quiet hostel considering it's size, very efficiently run, good central location.
