Hey everyone. Apparantly this will be my last blog entry for a while. Thanks for the tip jen. Didn't go on the day trip yesterday coz i didn't feel very well, but felt much better today so i did it today instead. The weather was absolutley beautiful, couldn't have been better. We went to the auckland harbour bridge and walked underneath it half way, to the bunjy site and watched some people do a bunjy. Then we went over the harbour bridge to devonport, really...

This was where they signed the treaty to unite the mauri people with the european set...
