We left Rotarua at 9.30 this morning. Feeling pretty homesick today - think it's getting too close now, I just wanna get home! I reckon when I get on my bus south and meet some people it'll be grand but I'm not in the mood for short term friends anymore!
Bus journey wasn't too long. We stopped at Matamata for a break on the way which is where Hobbiton is - I'll go see it on the next go around!
We arrived into Auckland around 1. There was about 5 of us checking into nomads. They wouldn't let us check in until 2 so we went for some food. I had a burger in the place next to the hostel with Aurelia and Tom who had been in my room the night before. Then I split off from them and had a look around the shops - officially dress shopping now haha, getting that close to being home!
I went back and checked in after a bit, turns out I'm in a different room from everyone else but not that fussed really. Went for a wander along the harbour etc and ran into Tom and Aurelia, so walked with them for a bit. Then I split off from them again and had a wander to look at the Sky Tower. On the way I stopped at a food court and got sushi which was awesome!! Really getting into sushi now. The sky tower was a little bit underwhelming but quite pretty all lit up at night.
After that I walked back to the hostel and used the Internet quickly then checked out the hostel bar...wasn't really up for it so I went for a wander and then gave up, bought an awesome cookie and headed back!
Watched the end of Daybreak as people were watching it in the hostel then some movie came on that I have definitely seen the start of but it really didn't look great - figured I might as well give up and head to bed haha. Realised I was really hungry so went and got a slice of pizza and some garlic bread and then I was off to bed! The hostel was really noisy, could hear the club next door and people screaming in the street all night, never mind the snoring! But definitely not the worst night's sleep I've ever had.
