Kia Ora (Maori for hello) everyone, I haven't quite fallen off the edge of the world yet, but it feels like it! I think I'm about as far away from home as I can get, as well as being 13 hours ahead of GMT now. I arrived in Auckland on Saturday evening and checked in to my hostel, which is new and very well equiped. I haven't done much yet, but have located Starbucks - priorities! Burger King has also reverted back to Burger King from Hungry Jacks, which it was known as in Oz. I went food shopping yesterday and discovered that Heinz is known as Watties here, so the cans are the same design, but with Watties on instead. The advertising slogan, Beanz Meanz Watties doesn't quite have the same ring to it!! The climate here is much more me, with the average summer temperature being about 21 degrees and at the moment it is just right. Anyway, off to do some exploring S xx
