Only stayed the 1 night as off with the Magic bus the next day. Stayed at Albert Park again.

Took Kiwi experience bus north to Cape Reinga, walked through Kauri forest, did the Excitor boat trip around the bay of islands & hole in the rock. Won a B.O.G.O.F. parasail in Salty's bar & it rained the whole time. Laugh about it now but Emma thought she was gonna die!!!! On a 4 wheel bus along the 90 mile beach, stayed at Pipi Patch Base. Met Emily, Charlotte & Mary (English).

Stayed at Albert Park Backpackers. Walked through Albert park, shopped in Victoria Park Market, visited the War Memorial Museum, climbed the Sky Tower to get a 360 deg view of the city, walked Queen St, drank in Father Ted's & danced the night away in Boogie Wonderlands! Mount Eden. Baggage got lost at beginning of trip with Qantas in Sydney for a day. Met Vivi (German), Martin (Irish) & Niall (Irish).

A very quiet place. Met English Jess & Oz Lee. Spent a day on mopeds with them to escape the quiet resort. Found nothing but more quiet beaches. Me & Emma did a day trip to Maya Bay where the film 'the Beach' was filmed and Monkey beach on Phi Phi.

Stayed by the Hippies bar. Bumped into Chris H, Clint, Grant, Mark etc. Fire show, gorgeous beaches, more cabaret shows (video). Beautiful place.
