We arrived in auckland pretty early so we were able to head out for a waunder. Guess what.....clear blue skies again!!!! Woohoo.
We had a walk around the main streets to get a feel for the city and we also did a bit of retail therapy with thanks to my flexible friend! We nipped into McDonalds for a bite to eat - wow! Maccas is so much better here than at home. The burgers are wicked. New Zealand cows taste way better than Scottish ones!
It was then back to the hostel for a kip and some food before getting ready for a night on the town. We were surprised as to the amount of homeless people lying around on the main street, it was unbelievable. We found it a little scary at night to be honest as they would hound you for money and food!! Didn't like it atall!
We started our night at the cinema. We brought our own beverages - wine in a water bottle! I know, I know thats really bad but we are skint travellers and thought it was a great idea! When we left the cinema you could imagine we were feeling rather merry - great idea! We then headed down to the Wharf where all the pubs and clubs were.
It was ace there, the pubs were all really trendy and funky and we had a great night. We had been desperate for a good old dance and we certainly managed to do that. We stopped for some grub on the way home and got in around 3.30/4am ish.
Had the best sleep ever!!!! No early morning start for the 'Magic' bus or to check out so we stayed in bed until about 1.30pm - awesome! We then had a few things to do like washing, update blogs and the usual boring stuff. It was pouring of rain so we didn't really mind. We had a quiet night as we were both a little rough and plus Daisy had to pack as she was leaving in the middle of the night to head to Africa.
At 2am we got up as Daisy was leaving - aww. Had such a wicked time with her and we got on like a house on fire. She is coming up to Scotland for my belated birthday celebrations so you will all get to meet her. She is so funny! I then went back to bed.
It was so strange waking up on my own, not done that since - god, i cant remember!! I had a hair appointment quite early so I was up and about and was so chuffed because it was sunny - woohoo! I pottered about and got some last minute bits and bobs and now I'm writing this blog. Tonight I will be getting packed as I leave early in the morning to head to Fiji - aagggghhh, so excited!!!!! Got an amazing trip booked and I will be travelling the 'Yasawa Islands'. Everyone I have spoken to has said that you shouldn't travel the main island, supposedly not a patch on the little islands beside it.
Marisa is meeting me there (the girl from Aberdour that I lived with for a bit in Oz), can't wait to see her again! We are booked onto a luxury trip and we stay on three different islands aswell as having one night on the main island. We are actually going to be staying where 'Celebrity Love Island' was filmed!!!! Oh my god, I need to stop talking about it as I am way too excited! Oh, I will have no internet access for the whole week and supposedly my mobile won't work either so I will update my blog and speak to you all when I return to New Zealand (staying here for one night before I fly to LA).
Anyway, had an absolutely awesome time in NZ. It is such a beautiful country and is very diverse. The people are so warm and friendly and there is so much to do here. I would definitely like to come back again!
Thanks New Zealand, I had a ball!
