Greetings from New Zealand,
I arrived this morning at 5am and unlike the US where immigration took an hour I was off the plane, through immigration, and had my luggage collected in under an hour.
The hostel is very nice - seems luxurious compared to some of the hotels in the US, and they have duvets here and not those horrible scratchy blankets with just sheets.
It's not as cold as I thought it would be but it is very overcast. Auckland seems very small but the air is so lovely and fresh after the smog in LA. I've been for a wander around the city this morning and had noodles for lunch where the portion was so big that I only ate a third and took the rest with me, and all for two pounds fifty (the keyboard doesn't have a pound symbol).
NZ is 11hrs ahead of the UK so you're all probably asleep while I write this unless you're still out partying somewhere.
Internet here is a lot cheaper than the US as well. In fact most things seem cheaper, cleaner, smaller and you can definitely see that the people here are not on the overweight/obese scale that they are in America.
Anyway, I haven't done anything else to write about yet - except some laundry, oh and one of the girls in my room goes to university in Winchester - small world.
Until next time.
Monica
