Arrived in Auckland and went straight online to answer emails and do boring stuff. We then went into Auckland and bought a suitcase each as I have begun to detest my backpack. Found one for 17 pounds which holds about 127 litres which was perfect, just hope it doesnt take me over my weight limit but the lady assured me it wouldnt. We were going to go out for a steak for tea but neither of us could be bothered so we had a quick chinese and headed to bed early...again

We have seen a couple of the people from the Kiwi bus in the hostel and some of the lads we shared a room with in Queenstown which is really nice. Also in Fiji i met the landlord of a guy i used to share a flat with in first year of university (Aaron) and also saw someone walking down the street in Auckland that i went to university with. I cant belive how many people i have met on this trip that i know or knows someone i know.

Had a small panic that we werent actually booked on the flight to LA, but STA travel assure us that we are and i have managed to print off a confirmation which is good.

So that is it now, the last leg of our trip is upon us and i cant belive how fast iit has all gone. I am so looking forward to having a nice hotel and our own space again as hostels are a great way to meet people but it is hard work asking the same questions to everyone every time we meet new people.
