We are in Auckland.
We spent a very dull day in transit at Brisbane airport - there's only so many times you can walk round the same few overpriced shops. After 8 hours of listening to announcements for people with strange names who hadn't boarded their flights, we were on our way finally. We got to Auckland, where my wi passport saved a lot of time because I was able to do self checkout immigration control.
It was raining when we arrived here but by yesterday afternoon it had cleared up., we got a bus downtown, which took nearly an hour because we are in a nice semi-rural area near the airport. We did ain new shopping and also took a look at the Sky Tower and the harbour. It was warm and sunny but very windy on the pier ewer walked along by the Hilton hotel to get a good view and imagine what life would be like if we could afford luxury hotels! This hostel us very nice though, e are currently sitting out by the pool with palm trees and a peach tree around. It's sunny and I am wearing shorts for the first time this year!
Food seems quite expensive here. We haven't found a proper sized supermarket yet though. Maybe food is just unnaturally cheap in the UK with EU farm subsidies. There's a nice cafe bakery along the road, and a couple of restaurants.
