Hello Been in auckland now for a few days and its actually enough but i've enjoyed just chilling and spending time to myself! however it is costing me a lot but i don't know on what as i've hardly treated myself to nice meals. BUT i did do something naughty and did a bit of shopping!! Done some touristy things like visit the museum and went up to the skytower at night which was nice, went right to the top-200m high! have also taken a boat across the waters to devonport which unfortunately was not a nice day-u'll be pleased to know that it has been raining over here! Tonight I went to a really cool-literally cool bar! its a bar made out of ice! think someone mentioned it was -5C, so felt like being at home! i went with a girl i met in the hostel and she told me about it. we had to wear big coats, gloves and boots to go in! and even the drink glasses were made out of ice. we were greated to vodka cocktail which was really nice and knocked me out! of course i got photos and will put them on soon as off on my NZ tour tm morning exploring the north and the south islands. I just hope the weather perks up! hope everyone is working hard on my behalf! t/c love ying-ying x
