Auckland

We landed in new Zealand to rain but it stopped by the time we got off the plane. We booked a double room and it was a welcome sight not to see 6 other student looking people in our room!

As it was late we just had a wander, went for a curry and went to bed.

We got up early the next day to fit a full day in. We started off with holiday chores again. Posting, washing and buying our Japan rail pass (as you have to do it outside the country).

The afternoon was better though and we went to the rugby world cup 2011 shop, the market and caught a bus to Mt. Eden which towered over the city at 198 metres! There was a cone at the top as it was once a volcano. We heard a couple of rumbles whilst standing on the volcano but that was just Emma's belly!! It had good views over the city which stretched for a long way.

A new day and it's back to the airport to get our campervan!! Waahhooooo!!
