... Jamie" ....a nice little touch!!<br><br>After the bridge it was to the top of the sky tower which is like 238m high at it tip, no offence to Portsmouth but it puts the Spinekar tower to shame! see some great views even though it wasn't the clearest of days but I had to go just to say i'd been up it!<br>Next day I got up early and headed off to mount Eden in Devenport which is 1 of the many volcanoes that Auckland is built on. its all covered over in grass now but you ...

... side of the harbour bridge on the North Shore in the pouring rain looking again at potential places to live. We headed to Brown's Bay and chatted to another estate agent and got more advice. This area is closer to the water but certainly doesn't have as much character as Titirangi. Both areas will involve leaving early in the morning to avoid the traffic.<br><br>So many highs and lows ...

I bought a plunger today!! Haha! That's what they call French press coffee pots here! Not even a plunge pot, just a plunger.. I need to find out what they call the actual plunger that you put in a toilet.. And then the only coffee shop that sells beans is Gloria Jeans, very odd. <br>--I'm drinking coffee from my plunger with weak beans from GloriaJ's, hence why it is relevant and the very beginning. <br><br>My first (almost) two weeks of ...

... other photos , but my flash didn't work, I do hope Marion has some. Singapore - a few snaps from our City Bus Tour -was an excellent way to get an insight - we loved the Orchid Garden, and more importantly we loved the Orchid Garden Shop!!!! The Dinner /Raffles trip was mediocre, the Chinese meal that was part of the tour, was poor, but Raffles lived up to everything we had imagined, the Singapore Sling yummy, -the price was included in tour, I am going to try and ...

... Only thing to note about Rotarua is that is stinks like rotten eggs because of the sulpher in the air. Auckland- Went for a nap when I got to Auckland. Went out that night with some guysI had met along the way. I wanted a big blowout to end my time in NZ, but the absence of all those people who made my time there so wonderful put a slight dampner of my enthusiam. The last day I sorted out laundry and other admin tasks, killing time before my long, long, journey to ...

... The sensible thing to do would have been to pitch me tent somewhere secluded for the afternoon but i could see the wind gusts on the grass howling over every square inch of otherwise beautiful countryside. So a little scary too but i think it was the element of danger, the challenge, that kept me going at about 8km/hr. I think my ears will be ringing tonight from the constant thunderous noise of that wind in them all afternoon. Great caution had to be taken in the direction of ...

... 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 ...

... give a statement to the police. After that we waited for a train which never came due to track maintenance. Then we tried to get a prescription for Lucy after paying $75 to see a doc and finding all the chemists were shut for some reason. Luckily we found one in the city centre and even though we had plenty of time I was convinced we were gonna miss the plane or it be cancelled or crash... But it didn't. Of course not it was Qantas.

... baby, a 300m ´Space Needle´ type tower which dominates the skyline, like its cousin in Sydney, or its niece in Seattle!<br><br><br><br>On the way home we spotted a pub which provided an excellent example of super-sophisticated advertising on the billboard above it. Ben would love this place!<br><br><br><br>We got back to the hostel soon afterwards and relaxed before heading ...
