Day 6 - 26th Nov 2009
I was wide awake at 3am this morning Grr but i did manage to go back to sleep!. I woke again at 8.30 so that wasnt too bad of a sleep lol.
The time difference is really mad!, i think i'm about 13-14hrs in front of the UK so its a real big difference (so if i dont ring anyone then you know why lol). I'm right bang in the centre of Auckland and its like a city that doesnt sleep lol. Its really busy in the mornings right the way through to the evenings. Its like something you would see from a movie set in Japan or New york lol.
I booked out of the room about 10 and re-booked into a dorm room (i needed to face the fear of being with people i didnt know lol). The room wasnt ready so i did a little site seeing. The sun was out and it was hot so i didnt mind going out for a stroll!. When i was in my room i could see the view of the sea so i thought i would head to the beach for some sun bathing but as i got closer it was actually a boating harbour so No beaching it for me lol. Along the way i chatted to quite alot of fellow travellers but they were actally starting th converstation by asking for directions!, did i look like a native lol!.
When i got back to the hostel i went into my dorm (6 person dorm) to find i was sharing with 4 guys who were still flat out in bed (this was 2pm!) lol so i came staright back out lol. I went and sat in the hostel lounge which has telly's, computers etc. Within 5 minutes of being sat on the couch i got talking to a group of people. Most were from the uk and 2 was from Holland. We exchanged life stories and headed into town for some food and a few beers. We then went up into the Auckland tower which over looked the whole place and that was pretty nice. It was really high up. When on the top level you could jump off like a bungy (i didnt do it kuz it was really windy lol). One Guy was from Chester and had been to Hereford and Canoed on the river wye starting at Hay so i was amazed that someone actually knew where hereford was lol.
I had a really nice day and it was really nice to met people xxx
