The flight to Syndey wasn't bad at all. I slept on and off for about 7 or so hours, ate some food and walked around the plane a bit. We had a layover in Sydney that we spent wandering the airport and emailing our parents to let them know how we were doing.
We arrived in Auckland around 3 PM and settled into our hostel. Eoin and I walked around downtown Auckland and had dinner at a really good restaurant. They had amazing french fries. I fell asleep at 8PM and woke up this morning around 5. Nothing is really open until 7, but we went for another walk and explored the city some more. We went to the harbor and saw some boats, and then opened up our bank accounts, applied for TAX ID's and bought a car!! (we will get it Friday or Saturday) It needs a few minor repairs, but as soon as thats done we have a 1990 Toyota Corona. Not a Corolla, but a Corona.
Anyway, I am extremely exhausted right now (Its 5 PM) and my feet hurt from all the walking we did today. But we got a lot accomplished.
The space needle thing. You can bungy jump off of it and walk around the outer edge. No, I did not and will not do either of those things. Thanks.
Palm trees in one of the parks. Eoin was convinced there were monkeys in the trees. He also says every bird we see is a kiwi...but really all we have seen are sea gulls and pigeons.
Some sailboats.
