Kia Ora New Zealand

City of syringes?

City of syringes?

Kia Ora - it's just for me and mah dawg...

Youse ull find Auckland a bit different to what you expect eh bro.  At least i know i did; uninspiring architecture, poorly planned, badly laid out, steep hilled, hobo central city. City of Sails - only if you don't walk can you call it that. Still, it can only get better eh.

I nearly didn't get here anyway.  It seems you need an onward flight (thanks LP for not making that clear). Yet again i have to book a flight to anywhere cheap from the airport lounge after failing to check-in.  It then turns out that most of the places that i can fly to need onward tickets too!  They don't make a backpackers life easy :-)  I also did what i usually do and put my career (they always ask what job you have) as whatever was the first thing that came to my head.  This time it was film reviewer as i was enjoying Mr Beans holiday while on the plane: 

Immigration guy:
"what films do you review"

Me (wild look of confusion having forgot that i put that):
"erm...student films"

Immigration guy:
"really"

well - New Zealand - here at last.

The only person more excited than you that you're finally in NZ is me! Auckland is built around extinct volcanoes, so that explains the hills..... bah! I love Auckland. Get you gone to the Coromandel Peninsular... eagerly expecting more :) ...Shane: more is coming little Oliver - don't you worry!

I just want to say that I really love this website and I love this blog and I love New Zealand! I love meeting new people and love chating on blogs and so I have made my own blog, its for people for Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. It is called 'Experience - New Zealand' and is my first blog, it is unlike this blog but is also a lot of fun - checkout: (http://www.experience-dating.com/free-online-dating/free-online-dating/new-zealand.html)
