Formosa Golf Resort Auckland

This week has been ridden with much anxiety for my journey to come. Today is the day where I head out of the big metroplex that is Auckland. During my stay in Auckland, Ive met many great people spanning from Sweden, England, Germany, Israel, places in Asia and as well as Australia.

Ive been out around the city many times but its all the same. To me, all cities are alike so it will be great ...

... wieder gegenwind?!? egal, ich wollte ja sport treiben und so kam ich definitiv auf meine kosten ;o)

ein neuer tag, eine neue 'aufgabe': wie komme ich nach glenfield wo rhonda ausser mir schon die ganze familie scherrer beherbergte? ein fahrrad kam nicht in frage, da es ausser am auckland triathlon nicht erlaubt ist über die brücke nach norden zu radeln, so suchte ich nach einer gescheiten busverbindung. während diesem ...

... that I had none of mother dearest's home cooking to look forward to and that I was going to have to crawl into yet another dorm bed instead of curling up in my duvet in my lovely double-bed.

That first hostel we stayed in (the Fat Camel) was particularly unappealing to me, as it is one of those massive chains of impersonal, factory-style hostels designed for the processing of as many backpackers as possible. Our ...

... something go between my legs at one point that i can assure u wasnt there before haha. After drying off and warming up we headed in the coach with everyone down to Rotorura. We had earlier booked with a group of people on the coach to go to an authentic Maori evening in a mock Maori village where we were taught the way of the Maori, saw how they would live and also got to see them perform the famous Haka!!! (what you see the NZ All Blacks do at beginning of rugby games). We then had a huge ...

... friends in Auckland and head back to Melbourne tomorrow. Saw some city sights, including the Sky Tower which is very cool I highly suggest going to the top. Auckland is a really beautiful city. Tonight the 'leftovers' from the tour are all heading out to dinner and maybe some drinks. I can't tell you how cool the trip was, I made some amazing friends and some that I am ...

... omistajat lupasivat "myydä" lataus-aikaa 1 Fidjin dollarilla/lataus/puhelin. (1 FD= alle 40 senttiä). Kuitenkaan sen jälkeen kukaan ei enää halunnut ladata ja nykyään kylässä on oma Agrikaatti, mikä on lähinnä kännyköiden lataamista varten... Ja jos kiinnostaa sijoittaa tommeseen kivaan saareen Tyynellä Valtamerellä niin 99 vuoden diilillä, kuukausierät voi olla euroissa vaan jotain muutamia tuhansia, kohtuu halpa siis!

... and eat we head to bed. 24th I get up early while Kim dozes and get on with phoning the repair places all over Auckland and Hamilton in a bid to save us as much money as we can. The last thing we need at this stage is a bond of $1500 taken from our cards as that would put a dent in our final tallies financially. I get reference numbers and referrals all over the place and finally track down a repair place in Hamilton which has windscreens in stock and can get it sorted that morning, to the ...

... person who actually lived at the house I was at.  It is always ***********vince people you aren't crashing their party when you say you are the flatmate of a boyfriend of a friend of a friend who works with someone.   People seem to take this well and I got many confused looks.  Eventually another cleaning solution cup was given to me and I was relieved to find that I at least knew my house mate there.  Eventually, I started talking to a guy who looked about 30 ...

... This coupled with living in the Bay Area of California where anything popular is distilled and blown up for it's esoteric and social importance such as the spirituality of the Maori and the left leaning progressive green feminist politics of the people gave NZ even more of a mystic.

I even had a friend that told me New Zealand was the land of the next great spiritual revolution. That he was told that the spirits of the "Moriori" a peaceful tribe ...
