And now we're back in Auckland for the third time. We're at the end of our trip to Kiwiland. It's midnight right now, and we have to get our taxi to the airport in 3hours so we havent' bothered getting a room, because people would only wake us up. Becky's asleep in the library right now (I say library, I mean a small room where backpackers leave their old books)! This hostel is the worst hostel I have staying in so far! It's Base in Auckland - never come here! The toilets smell so badly of weeks old pee, I have to hold my nose going in there and try to avoid it if I can. Down the side of my bed I swear there was a fish cos it smelled so bad! And also the TV room sofa smelled of pee for some odd reason! Everywhere is just so dirty, its not often I come out of the shower feeling dirtier than when i went in! We had a hostel room of 8 people so they turned on the lights and made loads of noise at 3am etc etc.
Hmm, the last time I wrote i think was in Taupo. After there we went to Rotorua- the town that smells of eggs (there is actually a lot of funny smells here in NZ). We had a good couple of nights there. First night all I could hear was the music for the club underneath - it was too hot to close the window. They kept playing a really good song that I discovered off myspace randomly about 3months ago - Ying Yang Twins - Dangerous. They really have good taste in music over here, gotta say! That night we had the smelliest boy EVER in our room, and he was sleeping under Becky's bunk.We saw, well smelt, him earlier when he sat between us at the computers. Honestly, I couldn't believe it was him that smelt. I had to send becky an email to tell her, and she agreed. We think it was his clothes, our room smelt so bad all night I couldnt breathe through my nose. I didn't sleep so well that night.
The next day we went for a nice long walk around the Government Gargens and Lake Rotorua. It was a nice hot sunny day. We decided not to go to the Polynesian Spa, we'd already been in some free hot springs the day before. Although this was voted one of the worlds best spas. That night was just as noisy in the room.
We traveled up to Auckland two days ago, and our driver was Jinny! The annoying girl who was annoying. She never really liked us. She started off our journey, and then she ended it. She was alright really!
We went to a Blues Rugby game night before last. It was really good! I'm really into rugby now. For only $25 (about 9pounds) we got tickets, a bbq, face paints, coach transfer and a free drink. Pretty bargainous! The blues (Auckland) played the Lions (a South AFrican team). I understand the game a little better now. And I was on the jumbo screen! Ok I was in the background, but I was the only one behind the man!!! I looked really pale on the screen! Especially next to all the Maoris in the crowd!
Tonight, since it was our last night in NZ, I though I'd get a Dominos pizza, mmm, it was so good! Beef, chicken, extra cheese and capsicum (NZ for pepper). And I sat in the kitchen eating it, next to becky, who was eating.......... a sweetcorn and carrot. Mmm, I'd so have prefered that.
Ok I better go now, times running out.
