Started the Kiwi Experience. Met Nikki, Fleur, Megan, Rachel and Lisa. Went parasailing - was so much fun!! Went out partying! Paihia style! Boat trip - the islands are amazing! Otehei Bay at Urupukapuka Island. Cape Brett. Lighthouse. More partying. Broke my camera.

Auckland Art Gallery - Likeness and Character Exhibition and the Laurence Aberhart Exhibition. NZ National Maritime Museum - really interesting stuff. Cinema to see Juno - there's something so liberating about going to the cinema on your own. Auckland Day Trip with Stray - met Rosanna - Harbour Bridge, Mt Eden Crater, Mission Bay, Achilles Point, lunch in a cute little pub. Sky Tower - the views from the top are amazing. I saw the sunset... awesome!

Berkenhoff Lodge. Drinking games and catching up with Clare. Scaring random Americans. Made lasagne. Maori Cultural Experience at Wairakei Terraces - really, really good. Orion's belt - it's upside-down here.
