After my epic sleep I decided to head to Auckland Museum which I'd heard was a must do.The museum is located in a really large and pretty park so I walked through past the winter gardens and duck pond on the way.The museum has three floors and there's an exhibition about the All Blacks which was really interesting as they had a film showing the haka.They have a lot of Maori art and displays about volcanoes and the world wards.The volcano section was really good a...

At 10:30am we eventually left the hostel and headed to town to have some breakfast. I then drove the car along the Great Ocean road. We stoppe...

I got up and headed down to Southbank to explore. The area is next to the river and has really trendy restaurants and bars. As it was a really clear sunny day I thougt that I would go up the Sky Tower to get some good views. The lift takes you up to the 88th floor in less than 40 seconds, and once up there I could see the most amazing views. Melbourne is much bigger than I thought as the city has really large suburbs and I could see houses for miles. I could...
