Jus thought i would quickly update u all on wat ive bin up 2 since las week since i hav internet time 2 use up b4 2moro! I am currently in the Bay of Islands at the very top of New Zealand- there are some very nice beaches here and lots of activities on the water. I can't do most of them however as the waves r 2 choppy so most things r cancelled! Was gonna do an overnight cruise bt its bin cancelled- bad times! Bt it means i save lots of money n hav an extra day so tis all gd! Is abit cloudy bt there r bursts of sunshine which r v hot indeed!
So wat hav i bin up 2- I arrived in Auckland on Friday and hav been there pretty much ever since! Its pretty much just another city bt it does hav a few gd places to visit. I went to the Harbour on saturday (since Auckland is the city of sails) and went on the HMNZS Taupo (i think) since they were having an open day n got 2 meet sum of the crew and find out about there missiles n stuff. Was pretty kl n was a lush day in the harbour. Sunday i took a ferry 2 the nearby island of Rangitoto which is the youngest volcano in NZ (n there r quite alot over here). Went straight up 2 the summit where there r lush views of the whole city. Also walked over to the nxt island (via a causeway) which is called summat like montagio (thats nt rite) Bt was really different frm rangitoto- looked less like a volcano wiv lots of yellow grassy hills and deserted beaches! Was pretty good but i misjudged the distances i think as i was knackered walking back- walked 4 a total of around 8/9 hours that day!
Monday was sortin out my phone (which still isnt sorted) n planning where i was goin 4 the nxt couple of weeks (amazin times ahead!!!). Yday i did the coast to coast walk which is pretty famous in auckland since u walk from the pacific ocean on one side to the Tasman sea on the other. Saw lots of stuff on the way like Auckland uni, the albert clock and walked to the summits of mount eden and one tree hill. These had some wkd views of the whole of auckland. 2day i travelled up the bay of islands n i plan 2moro 2 go west where in the evenin im going 2 footprints at twilight which is where the maori take u into the forest at dusk in this spiritual gathering or something and its supposed 2 b one of lonely planets 80 things u must do in the world so should be quite gd! Am back off 2 auckland friday n shud hopefully b goin over 2 the north shore and up the sky tower if its a clear day- bin waiting 4 the perfect weather b4 i buy a ticket!
Hope every1 is well at home! Off 2 the beach nw! ;-)
