Hi Folks,
Landed in Auckland from Santiago and at last its nice to hear people speaking English. The flight seemed to go pretty quick, a few movies and meals and a half hearted sleep and I was there. Suppose with all the overnight and long distance journies in South America i am quite tolerant now.
Auckland seems a nice place, perfect for the modern day metrosexual male, lots of cafes, bars, resturants and shops. A visits to the Auckland Quarter, a city centre park with museums, gardens etc was also nice.
After a few days here i moved on up to Paihia which is in the bay of islands in the North of the North Island. I have planned a few days up here to have a look around and visit the islands, see some dolphins etc and relax. So far its been pretty nice and the sun has shone every day. Not sufficient for sunbathing but it makes it good for exploring and walking. Lots of forest and nature reserves in the area.
Anyhow will be going back down to Auckland again today to meet Daniela at the airport. We then start the Kiwi Experience tour down the North and South Island for nearly the next three weeks, before taking in the beaches of Fiji. This will be a welcome relief after the cold and snow in the south island. Although hopefully i will get chance to do some snowboarding.
Laters peeps
Jonathan.
