I spent a lovely first week in New Zealand, staying in Auckland with Jon and Liz. Giving me a chance to relax and get my bearings. I was met at the airport (well I arrived first but Jon, Liz and Harriet a close second ;) ) which was great and drove to One Tree Hill which is a great spot to look over the whole city. On my first full day we visited the island of Waiheke, it's so remote it doesn't even have a McDonald's on it!! I also had my first sea swim of the year and it was lovely and warm not like Shoreham beach at all. The following day I had the chance to go into the city centre and do a bit of shopping, I was having frozen Coke withdrawal since Sydney so had to venture into maccy d's, If you ever go to NZ go to Cotton On clothes store it's fab, I'd go as far as to say it's like topshop with primark prices. I spent time during the week chilling and prepping for the journey ahead. I had a fun night out with this group that I didn't know before but they were so much fun, ended up belting out a Kelly Clarkson Classic at a kareoke bar. This weekend I spent some more time with Jon, Liz and Harriet at the weekend, we went to marine reserve beach and did a bit of snorkelling, the best snorkelling I've ever done although apparently there was a lot less fish then there usually is. We visited another beautiful beach as well. I've never been anywhere with some many different beaches that are all so beautiful. On Sunday we went up the Auckland sky tower, awesome views! I then got the chance to watch Harriet play flipper ball, which is like water polo, even though Harriet's team lost it was still a fun game to watch. That afternoon we visited another stunning beach with a good surf in Piha. The black sand was a killer but had a great swim and sunbathe. I had a great week, relaxing and hanging out with Harriet, Jon and Liz. Now onwards I go for the Kiwi Experience bus tour.
