YO!

Well here I finally am! yes I have finally left South America to head off on the next leg of my RTW trip! YAY!!!!!!!

I'm still struggling with the date and time as I was only up in the air for 14 hours traveling from Santiago to Auckland but I set off on the 3rd September and landed on the 5th (so the 4th of September is well.....just lost somewhere!)

Well what can I say about Auckland so far!!? well firstly is that how clean it all is ! I have yet to see any men peeing in front of me (a very common place occurrence in South America) or a woman with her fingers shoved up her nose! (again, unfortunately a common place occurrence) Everyone here is soooo well dressed and business like. The architecture here is amazing, its all chrome and glass and reeks cleanliness and wealth! I'm having a reverse culture shock!

Tomorrow I'm heading off north, to swim/dive with dolphins and the next day beg some nice people to let me dive and see the Rainbow warrior (I'm not quite qualified to go that deep!) i's the ship that the French sunk in 1985.

That is if I can afford all this, its a tad expensive here! far more than the UK!
