Wednesday 31st October Got up very late after stressful and tiring researching for our N.Z plan. We made our way to the travel desk to enquire for the best way to get around New Zealand. They recommended something like Kiwi Experience or if we wanted freedom, campervan which was $69 per day. After working out, it seems that Kiwi Ex was the cheapest, which we took up for it. However, before we did book it, the staff told us to take up the free day trip around Auc...

Tuesday 30th October We left the hostel to go elsewhere, to be near the city. We found one which was bang in the city! We can see the Auckland Tower very well from the Hostel entrance. We decided to browse around the city, doing the window shopping. The city is very much like London, home away from home. We walked to the harbour to take pictures and to see the bridge.

Monday October 29th 5am wake up call to get a taxi to the airport for our check in, ready for 8.45am flight. We were very pleased to get out of the horrid hostel!!

It was a YHA hostel, based about 5 mins...

Basically there isn't much to report, we just did too much lazing around as there was nothing to do on that resort! Lisa doing her usual relaxing on...

Wednesday 24th October The hostel is like a camping site, the bathroom is in separate block, meaning we would have to go outside to get to the block. Early morning at about 4am to 5am, Daniel woke up as he needed to go to the toliet. When he opened the door, guess who was sleeping outside our door, the black dog that we have been playing with yesterday. He was surprised as he wasn't expecting to see anything outside the door. Daniel then woke Lisa up on his re...
