Arriving in Auckland was cool, a slight interrogation at the airport about whether I had any money in my bank account (I don't blame them judging by the holes in my top from the dodgy washing machine in melbourne) also I became a bit obsessive to keep checking I didn't have any food on me, as my friend james told me he got charged something like $400 for having an apple in his bag!

I have seen crocodiles in the w...
