New Zealand 20th February 2008

Auckland

We sadly had to say bye to all the rest of the Oz family left in cairns to Tim, Joe and Dessie but hopefully we would be seeing Joe and Tim in New Zealand too, we arrived at cairns airport a little bit earlier then we needed to as Billy was flying back to Melbourne that day as well, so we said our farewells to Billy and then checked in for our four hour flight to the city of Auckland in New Zealand

The 3 musketeers me Jen and Claude were so excited about going to New Zealand for 3 weeks ever since we had been travelling everyone told us how amazing New Zealand was and how me must go!!!!!after killing loads time in the airport the usual checking out what to have for lunch and looking in all the duty free shops at everything we wanted to buy and sleeping on the airport sofas, We finally boarded our plane to New Zealand and lucky enough we had two movies the bee movie and Sydney white so Jen and Claude was happy just a shame I couldn't keep my eyes open for of them ha ha!!!!!

We got the shuttle bus to our hostel Base unfortunately I got the dodgy seat next to a smelly old man ha ha poor git!!!! Then we arrived at our hostel base our bookings was booked in for the 2 days before we got there so it was stress stress especially because it was about 12pm and we were all ratty and hungry ha ha worst ever!!!! at lucky enough they sorted it all out and gave us another 3 bedroom room!!!! So it was bags in and straight out for a bite to eat, the city had some really dodgy characters around at that time the city looked cool especially the big sky tower…

The next day was our only full day in Auckland as we was getting on our Kiwi Experience Bus at 8am in the morning, so that day we walked down the the marina see all the massive boats and had a bit of lunch then went to the market then went to check out the big casino in the bottom of the sky tower then went up the sky tower and the view was amazing we took about a thousand pictures Jenna even spotted the mcdys sign for me from the top of the sky tower ha ha cheeky cow, then we did a bit of shopping

That night I met up with my friend Veli who had been travelling quite a few months before we left, We went for drinks in the casino bar after many many drinks and jaegar bomb shots and talking about old times went onto a few more bars put it this way i defiantly couldn't even walk in a straight line by the time he dropped me off at the hostel ha ha!!!! And to make it worst that night I was on the top bunk don't even ask me how I managed to get in bed that night at about 4 in the morning ha ha

The next morning was a total nightmare Jen Claude woke up we literally had to been on the Kiwi bus at 8am and it was 7.30am I felt like I wanted die literally!!!!!!
