Fiveforty on Great South Auckland

... i only had $2 coins and the min was 50c so didin't want to waste all that to find it didn't work again. Then ended up walking from shop to shop asking if they wouldn't mind changing it for some 50's, 'no sorry we don't give change' grrrrr.

With only a little time left we ventured back into town for a farewell meal with my friends before being due at the airport for my flight to Chile. We celebrated our antipodean liaison with a fine New Zealand steak and a fond farewell.

... people there. The lady who served us told us the day before they'd had a sailing race for some type of luxury yacht (can't remember the name) and the place had been full of millionaires eating and drinking until 3.00am that morning.
