The Longest Bus Ride of My Life
Mar 26, 2008 (14 photos)

On Tuesday morning I hopped onto my Stray bus at about 7:30 am. As always, I completely overpacked and don't need half the stuff in my HUGE bag! But hey, that's just the way I am... take it or leave it. After a snide comment from the bus driver about not being able to take that kind of bag on the bus if we were in Europe, I wasn't too fond of hi...

Day 16 - New Zealand
Feb 18, 2004

14.29 - Just got on the plance holding a package resembling a tampon! It's actually meant to be a face cloth but i don't really want to use it with that thought on my mind! I was up early again today with a hangover yet again. I got a rolling taxi into Korotogo where i waited for another but none were picking me up. A mand told me that these tax...

Day 17 - Auckland & Sky Tower
Feb 19, 2004

17.08 - I have had a great day. After getting a taxi to the YHA and paying $25 for it, I checked into my room. It's great, really clean and comfortable as is the whole hostel. I then decided to check out the CBD and get some dinner. My thoughts about the place were right, it's a really good city. Everything is modern and chilled out although it'...

Day 18 - Maritime Museum
Feb 20, 2004

16.05 - Woke up early due to the noisy Czech's I was sharing my room with. The day has come, as I knew I would, when I had to go food shopping. Everything is so expensive, a box of cornflakes (small box) cost $6 or £2.50! At least it should last me a while. After breakfast, I decided to go to the New Zealand National Maritime Museum. As I got th...

Day 19 - Auckland Museum
Feb 22, 2004

22.00 - A long day today but very interesting. After waking up I just hung around in the hostel for a while to pass the time. I didn't want to go to the museum until after dinner. After a fairly long walk, I got there. I can safely say the walk was well worth it as the museum was excellent. There were three floors; the first about the history of...

Day 20 - Auckland Zoo
Feb 22, 2004

16.20 - Another good day today. After waking up I just hung around the hostel until dinner time again. I got my CV that Ryan sent to me so I will be able to hand that in to the restaurants I tried yesterday. I planned a lot of my future trip around NZ based on a tour bus I am likely to take with the Kiwi Experience. It was hard work, especially ...

Day 21 - Kelly Tarlton Antarctic Encounter
Feb 23, 2004

16.44 - Today has been quite good. I met the guys down in the lobby and after breakfast we had another game of scrabble. This time I won for the first time. Unfortunately we had to see Anna off at 13.00 but I got asked for my e-mail for the first time on this trip! I desperately need another book to read as I have read all mine and I am resortin...

Day 22 - Mecca
Feb 25, 2004

19.13 - I haven't done much today in terms of sightseeing. I woke up with a hangover and then just stayed around the hostel. I did my laundry and then just read. I haven't seen Colt yet, I feel a bit bad for just leaving him last night without saying goodnight and bye. He owes me money as well! I went down to the Viaduct Harbour and I finally ma...

Day 23 - Shopping & Work
Feb 25, 2004

14.26 - A tiring morning shopping today but it had to be done. I had to buy a t-shirt, some trousers and a pair of shoes. The black t-shirts were no problem to find, I bought them from a sports shop so they had the New Zealand silver fern on them. Very nice! The lady in the shop was very helpful; she told me where I could get some shoes and pant...

Is Auckland, just a waiting room for Sydney?
Mar 27, 2008

Last night at the Hostel. Really didn't find much going on, even after walking most of the central city.

Auckland
Jul 1, 2008

Firstly, it must be said that Auckland is a little dull. For a city that is. The problem is that it just doesn't have much to offer except for being home to the tallest building in the southern hemisphere, the hyperdermic needle they call the sky tower. After you've done that, there's not much else to do, except maybe take a walk to the harbour ...

Auckland - the end of New Zealand
May 13, 2008

So I've come to the end of my travels in New Zeland... Sad as it may be, there's still loads I've missed here that I want to come back and do, but it's not all bad as I'm off to Fiji! Woop woop! Should be great. I know I haven't kept the blog up to date in New Zealand but if you keep on checking back I shall update it soon and get some pics up f...

En effet, depuis maintenant 2 semain...

Arrival at the last stop
Apr 8, 2008

I've just arrived back in Auckland after a flight of just over an hour this afternoon from Christchurch. In fact it actually took longer to get from the airport into the city here than it did to fly up from Christchurch. It appears Auckland has a rush hour! Anyway I'll try and keep you updated on what I get upto here over the next few days befor...

Last bit of sightseeing
Apr 11, 2008 (59 photos)

Right well it's almost time to come home. I've had an absolutely wicked time, and will definitely be coming back to Australia and New Zealand. I've still been quite busy in the last few days doing a last bit of sightseeing round Auckland and meeting up with a couple of old faces. On Wednesday I met up for lunch with Jenny Williams who I hadn't s...

City of Sails
Mar 3, 2008 (38 photos)

Arrived into Auckland early in the morning and headed to the Auckalnd Domain to check out the museum there. It is a huge museum and took me about 3 hours to scan all the floors. Leaving the museum there was a "Teddy Bear Picnic" going on in the park so I thought I would check it out. I'm still not sure what it was about, looked like people broug...
