Sweet as bro! god, this is the most commonly used sentence in NZ espesh on our Kiwi Experience and it's really waring thin!
So, we are in full swing now having hung about in Auckland for a while to pick up our new debit crads, still havent arrived! Anyway despite this we've decided to carry on. Cape Reinga was brill, did sandboarding which was so much fun BUT very scary and hard work climbing to the tops of the sand dunes! Ended the day with Fush n Chups at a cute little port called Mangonui! ( oh yes the neames just get better & better!) We had planned on a quiet evening as we were all knackered but that didn't last long. A guy from America who had just won the lottery in 3 states was at our hostel and put a huge tab behind the bar so didn't spend a dollar all night, sweet as bro! Awful hangovers proceeded but we mangaed to get ourselves along to the Waitinagi Treaty Centre which is where the English & the Maori's signed their agreement back in the day! ( sorry cant remember the date!) headed back to auckland in the evening to spend Xmas eve which was much fun. Spent a bit of time shopping and then i booked myself on to do the Auckland Sky Tower Jump which was immense! 192m jump, to the streets down below, boss la!
Xmas eve we booked ourselves into the outdoor hottub on the roof of our hostel! WOW! it was such a gorgeous day we bought a couple of bottles of wine&some choccies and watched the sunset - thought we'd take a few funny photos so were posing around like models, little did we know there was a security camera watching - oh the shame!
Up bright and early on Xmas Day to take our Kiwi bus to Whitianga. There were about 14 of us on it which was nice but no one had any xmas songs, gutted! Made a stop at Cathedral Cove hoping to complete sophies mision of swimming in the sea on xmas day but didn't have enough time! It was homemade cheese sandwiches for lunch - very festive! but little did we know that there was a great xmas dinner waiting for us at our hostel! was so delicious, spent the evening eating chocs, drinking & playing darts, a first for us!
AND...........yes we did it! despite the lack of sun we donned our bikinis and headed into the sea for a dip. Must admit i couldnt hack it for more than a minute but Soph managed a little swim! Hardcore!
Hope you all anjoyed the festive season! Lotsa luv xx
