Hi everyone, Well we're in Auckland. LA was quite nice actually and we stayed in a really nice hotel in the suburbs. Did a cheesy bus tour of all the LA sights including Venice beach (there was nobody pumping iron at muscle beach tho!) where Bay Watch was filmed, Sunset Strip, and the Walk of Fame etc. And we saw the Beverley Hills Police Department (but no Axel Folley to be seen!). Auckland is OK, and we're in a quite groovy hostel at the mo but........ there is NOWHERE TO STAY in the whole of Auckland for the next few nights (because of the Big Day Out concert on Friday- that we're going to!), so we have no idea where we're going to be staying from Thursday onwards! Park bench by the harbour side maybe?! We're off to call around the campsites now... all the hostels are already fully booked! Still, at least its lovely and sunny here! Hope you're all well. We'll do another update of the site ASAP. See ya, Ian and Clare xxx.
