... , lovely parks, an incredible museum and historic and charming little shopping areas.  I so enjoyed my studio room at The Quadrant Hotel that it was hard to tear myself away from the fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, free internet and great ...

Wednesday 12 November, 1.48am/2.48pm, The Quadrant Hotel I never thought I'd just come out and say this, but I really feel I have to - I smell. I smell bad. I've been wearing the same clothes for two days, and I reek. So just a brief update before I ...

... With the change of timezone we landed at 9pm. The efficient supershuttle whizzed us into town, dropping us at the door of The Quadrant Hotel. We're staying in a funky studio room here for a couple of nights. Tomorrow in daylight we'll explore the ...

... had about 8 hours sleep in 4 days!! We got into Auckland at 2.00am, but time doesn't mean anything at the moment.  Auckland was a sunny 25C today and Tony and I headed out of the city on the ferry to Devonport to a small picturesque town ...

... durch die Innenstadt landen wir im Hafen, besuchen den Fish Market und die Austern, dann fahren wir auf den Sky Tower, sehen Auckland grandios von oben und beobachten die Verrückten, die vom Sky Tower am Bungee-Seil hüpfen und auf der Außenplattform ...

... about 90 minutes on the ground (just enough time to send us all though immigration and out again (silly Americans)) we flew to Auckland in New Zealand. Our first day in New Zealand (since we arrived on monday at about 8am local time) was also known as ...

... the results of the repairs for Britzy's damage.  They called a taxi for us and we made our way to our hotel, The Quadrant Hotel, near the University of Auckland.  We were told the taxi was a flat $30 charge, but the driver tried to charge us the ...

... shoeing horses We have moved house at least 4 times, and we are off again tomorrow to stay for 2 nights in the Quadrant Hotel in central Auckland, it's just opposite where the Blessing takes place. It is just to far to be travelling up and down to the ...

... but we are now in Auckland.  It is summer here with a nice late sunset like we have in August. After arriving in Auckland our first challenge was getting a car and then driving.  We have a standard Camery with everything being left- the gear ...

... if (read: when) I mess something up. So! For those of you who aren't aware, I'm studying abroad at the University of Auckland this semester. I arrived a few days early because I expected jet lag to be brutal. As it turns out, I adjusted just fine and was ...

... spent much time complaining about the Quadrant so far, but again, dear people, should you find yourself in Auckland, I implore you not to stay here. It is a hotel made of pants. The key thing that happened today? That's actually the second time that's ...

Day 44 Day in transit from Christchurch to Auckland, for the first time this trip our flight is delayed by a couple of hours. We hit Friday rush hour traffic going into Auckland too - so manage to spend most of a day travelling. The less said about today ...

... today. Poor Suzy. But it was definitely worth it, I had a lovely day in the sunshine yesterday - the Auckland Museum is about a half hour walk from the hotel, and the last bit of it is across the Auckland Domain, which is basically this massive public ...

... I want to take it easy, so I think I'm going to go and get some breakfast and head down to Queen St again. I saw signs for the Auckland Art Gallery and the Sky Tower, so I think I will go and see at least one or hopefully both of them. If I have time I ...

... when our hotel was only about 200yds up the road on the right. We then spent a  considerable while negotiating unknown streets of Auckland, in heavy traffic, until the navigator (me) found the way back. And it was worth it, a good functional hotel in ...

... lost coming back from the harbour and ended up taking a bit of a detour as it was! So as I said earlier, I went to Auckland Art Gallery today. It was beautiful, but part of it was closed for renovations, so I didn't get to see everything. ...
