Hi everyone,
hope you ok. I arrived in Aukland safe and sound. Flight across was fine, no delays no problemos. It was a night flight so slept through which was a bonous. Arrived in Aukland in the am and took bus to centre of town. Got to hostel and checked in with no problems. Aukland is quite a small city and not much to say about it realy. I know it sound dull but well its a city. And to me a city is what it is no matter where it is. They have a sky tower so took a ride up to top of that so could see veiws across the city which was good. You could take a jump off it, but didnt participate so no extreme activities to report of yet. dont worry there will be many im sure. cant come to NZ and not do something completely reckless and crazy. Dont worry mum, I will be safe! So anyway sky tower visit and then the next day checked out the Aukland Museum for a bit of education which was prtty good. looking forwrd to heading out of Aukland though and seeing some of what I call real NZ.
Next day boaded my bus to head north to town called Pahia, or 'the bay of Islands' as it is also known. Now this is what I am talking about. Stunning NZ! heading up through green hills and forests. Oh I saw a pink sheep, and NO i wasnt drunk! pretty impressed with the sheep - like candy floss. Reached the bay and it was amazing. A few of us hired Kyakes and paddled out to some of the little islands. The whether was fab and we spent the rest of the afternoon messing about on the beech. A BBQ in the evening and few drinks rounding a good day off nicely! The next trip out is further up north so will fill you in later.
Love everyone lots. Jo
