Hi!
I got to Auckland late on Saturday night. By flying up here I saved 4 days on the bus - what a luxury!!
On Sunday morning I met up with Cheryl who I met on Bounty Island (the place I didn't like in Fiji - Cheryl loved it though!). She collected me in her car and took me for a little tour of Auckland. We went up Mount Eden, and One Tree Hill, and we went to a number of different areas along the coast for a look around. It was really nice. For tea we went to Mission Bay (close to where she lives) and had some sweet potato chips (yum!) and a burger.
I noticed on the net that a comedy festival was going on in Auckland, so that I night I got some tickets for us to go and see Ed Byrne. He is actually an Irish guy, but he did alter his act for the kiwis. It was really good!
On Monday morning I got back on the Stray bus. Last night we stayed at Hahei and tonight we are in Raglan.
Yesterday we stopped off at loads of cool places including a hot spa beach where you had to did a hole and find hot water! It was great! Me Conny and Laura all went for a dip in the freezing sea before warming up in the sand. After that we did a lovely walk to Cathedral Bay before having a BBQ which we all chipped in for.
And today we stopped off at a waterfall before arriving at Raglan. Raglan is a good place for surfing, but as I can't surf I just went wave jumping which was much fun (but a bit chilly!). All in all a great day!
I'm just off for my tea now. I am still staying away from the pasta and have opted for a Mexican tonight - yum!
