Thursday 1st November 2007- Auckland
I did not do much. Sorted my phone out, went food shopping and booked the Stray Bus. Got another early night but chatted to a lad in the room who was a PE teacher. Then a really friendly girl who told me all about Stay and what she did in Nz. Also met Neil a Scottish guy who was very drunk as he had been drinking all day. (Very funny)
Friday 2nd November 2007- Auckland Museum.
Got the bus to Auckland museum and spent around 5 hours wandering around. It was really interesting and learnt about Maori carvings and culture. Enjoyed the exhibition on the history of Nz. There was a section on the wars as this is where the War memorial for the country is. A small section on the Holocaust was fascinating but obviously upsetting. Included in the entrance fee was a Maori show. This was probably the best bit really enjoyed it. Saw the Haka and the Po dance.
Got back had a shower and went for drinks with the Scottish guy from the room. He was really nice 38 from Inverness and an engineer. Spent the night chatting about travelling but I left him in the bar at 11:30 drinking away. Packed ready for the Bay of Islands.
