Wow, I've finally got round to writing an entry (prepare to be bored - not much is happening, really).
I'm still staying in the City Lodge hostel, and am the hostel stripper. No, that doesn't mean I stand on the table in the kitchen and take my clothes off, I just take all the linen off the beds, vacuum, mop, and so on. Thrilling stuff. Still, I get free accommodation in return, so it's all good. In the afternoons I catch the link bus ($1.60 gets you anywhere) and ride round Auckland, opening bank/library accounts, posting stuff and generally getting sorted in NZ. Finally, in the evenings I hang around with Flo (German skater boy) and Bryony (Ipswich lass) watching dvd's, drinking tea, and generally trying to have a good time without spending too much money.
What to do next... I'm torn between a) staying in Auckland, working for a few months to earn some cash, then travelling round NZ or b) heading off soon, but travelling slower, and working in hostels/farms as I go. Hum, what do you think?
Anyway, think I'll be in Auckland for a little while longer as I'm liking it and also have a few people to visit. Those being my Gran's first beau, and a friends godparents - random, but all seem nice, I just have to get round to contacting them.
Um, really nothing more to report. Will try to remember to take some random pictures of the hostel/my friends etc.
