It was really hot again today so we walked down to the harbour again and sat in the sun for a while. After lunch we didn't do a lot, i sent some more things home and spend some time on the internet. We are just really can't wait till Monday!!

Well we had the best night sleep in ages, the room is so comfortable compared to Taupo. It was pouring down with rain when we looked out the window so after breakfast we didn't venture very far. After lunch the sun came out and it was so hot, we walked down the the harbour and had a look around the shops. Other than that we are spending a lot of time on the internet as its the cheapest place we have found so far, we are doing all our Oz and Fiji research here!

Well we go picked up from Taupo at 9pm so not too early. It is quite a long way to Auckland so it was mainly driving today. We stopped for lunch in Matamata which is also know as Hobbiton, we went there on the way down the South Island so didn't spend much time to explore. Arrived in Auckland at about 3.30pm. We have an excellent room, its on the 10th floor and the room it huge so much nicer than the last place. Went on the internet this evening and got to ha...

Well we thought as we didn't have much else to do today we would just go for a walk, we got quite far until it started to pour down, we got absolutely soaked! we had to run for cover and now we have to get our clothes dry ready to leave tomorrow. Tonight we are going to have a KFC as i refuse to cook anymore in the horrible smelly kitchen and pack up our stuff.

Well the rain has seemed to of held off but its very grey today. We went for another walk by the lake, although the view wasn't great you can normally see the volcanoes in the distance but we haven't seen them once since we have been here this time. We had a nice ice cream from Burger King, they are a real bargain, 40 cents which is only about 15p! And thats about all we did today, not very exciting but i think we have done all there is to do in Taupo.
