So they found Ell's bag on some random island and said it would be back in the port at midday. Our flight was at 2pm so this was not ideal, being as poor as we are we decided to get 2 local buses back to the port instead of a taxi, not the best idea first of all we were charged 5% more for being white then it took us all round these tiny villages totalling 2 hours to do a 10 minute can journey! Although seeing the villages was pretty cool so different to the islands! So we get there and his bag is there! While Elliot is screaming how excited he is to be reunited with his belongings I am using my stern but Proffesional travel agent voice to try and get the company to pay for our taxi to the airport because of the mix up after speaking to 3 different managers and the captain of the boat we finally get on a free bus, not taxi, to the airport, we are so late I can't even argue anymore so we get on carefully telling the driver to look afterour bags as we put them in the storage under the bus. After all the the flight is delayed anyway (fiji time - this is what they say anytime something is late it was funny the first day, now it's just annoying). So quite a nice flight, the nicest since the one from the uk to thailand makes up for long day! Finally we arrive in Auckland and get a transfer which takes us right outside Henry's house! His house is awesome he lives with a load of boys he lives with selling paintball tickets we stock up on alcohol and food and have a hot shower for the first time in a week! The bars are pretty cool big cosy fires in the middle to make up for the freezing weather! Decent night out ending of course trying to get in to a strip club but refusing to pay!
