Lost the night of the 28/8 as we crossed timelines when entering New Zealand. Initialy impressions - LOVING IT. ace vibe. Staying at ACB - Auckland Central Backackers hostel. Goof place, central location, clean and all the amentities on site. Had my big hair cut at this cool Japanese salon...very little English but managed to get by...really need an image overhaul. Some cool shops on Queen St - where at the South Asian people get their ace clothing gear... Decided to stay longer in NZ - 2 weeks is sooooo not long enough...extended it to a month. Hiring a car in a few days to travel round the country. Did an ace city orientation course with STRAY travels - bit like Trek America but we're so "bused" out that we'd prefer a bit of time to ourselves... xxxx
