We flew into Auckland yesterday from Melbourne and got to our hostel which is more like a hotel fairly easily!!! We visited the Skytower with amazing views of the city, went to Minus 5 which is an ice bar with even the glasses made of ice!!! Then we did a harbour cruise before I met up with Sara and her friend for a few drinks - they're looking for work over here for 6 months!!!! Auckland is a really nice city and everyone is sooooooooooooooo friendly!! we're getting our Magic bus tomorrow and the next stop is Hamilton to visit Marie - WOOHOO!!!
