Auckland
Day 115
Went on a free tour of Auckland but didn't enjoy it fully due to my head hurting. That's not very interesting is it? Maybe I should make someting up...
Today I adopted a monkey and met Kevin Bacon.
That's better.

Day 113 Conversing
28th January 2009
Conversing
Day 113
Had an intelligent conversation with the Canadian guys in my room about politics, countries and values. Then the English guys in the room walked in and the conversation turned to drinking.

Day 108 Time to check the bank balance
23rd January 2009
Deep breath, check balance
Day 108
OK I feel better today. That's good.
Decided to check my bank balance. That may be not so good.
Since coming to New Zealand everyone I've been talking to are visiting here for one month to six weeks. When they ask me how long I'm here for I tell them 4 months. Then they laugh. Since arriving in Auckland (NZ's biggest city) it became apparent that there isn't that much to do. I thought it'd be like a mini-Sydney, but it isn't. What the hell am I gonna do for 4 months?!
Plus I checked my bank balance today. The less said about that the better.
So today consisted of the Kiwi Experience office (which I walked to to save the bus fare) to book the first leg of my route around NZ, then to the Quantas office to change my flights, which cost 60 quid! Instead of 4 months here I managed to get it changed to 2 months. So that should save some money for Thailand and Thailand is loads cheaper.

Day 107 WHY?
22nd January 2009
WHY?
Day 107
Hungover.
Can still taste kebab from last night.
Feel sick and stupid especially after all the stuff I blogged about drinking sensibly recently.

Day 106 Ice, ice baby
21st January 2009
Ice, ice baby
Day 106
Met up with my friend Erik who I first met 3 months ago in Brisbane.
Fell off the wagon.
We stocked up on drinks in happy hour and soon were feeling the effects. Then we went to a bar that was made of ice (although how we got there is a mystery). It was really good inside - the photos looked like it was good anyway, but we got kicked out for making our own cocktails. Well when all the ingredients are left on a table and there are drunk English and Dutch people around with empty glasses and no staff, there is only one way the situation can go.
Plus I did something that I haven't done since I was 18 - I had a kebab!

I'm leaving on a jet plane
Day 105
Left Sydney today and was really happy to leave. I think maybe one month was too long to stay there for. Arrived at my hostel in Auckland, New Zealand at 11pm. Was quite awake so went for a stroll around the town and everywhere was dead! It was like a ghost town.
