spent the last 10 days in Auckland with my friend. had a nice lazy time saving me money for OZ. did go to the zoo which had or the usual animals in. On 17th went to Eden Park to watch the All Blacks Vs Ireland. it was a wet windy evening but luckily my seat was undercover. the weather made the game quite poor but was still awesome to be at an all blakcs game. the haka was impressive too. 1000s of people there but there is a train station right next door with extra train put on into and out of town. took me half an hour to leave the ground and get back to the house, was very easy and very impressed! i managed to miss all the bad snow storms in the south island that caused choas there. Some people are still with out power 13 days after the blizzard. The north island got hit with snow on wednesay. auckland missed out just been very cold wet and windy.
