Hello everyone! Had a great time in Auckland. Boat trips, museums, zoo, explorer bus, beach, cinema (and singing with Harikrishna group!). It was good to see a Starbucks and Subway again (and there was even a Specsavers). I contemplated (briefly) impressing you by doing the Sky Tower jump or doing the Sky Walk!). Can you imagine? Lots to do in Auckland and weather was very good. Have hired a car for 3 months and am now travelling the North Shore. It's beautiful up here but the rain has at last found me! Never mind, I'm in a lovely hostel in Okiato, Russsell, which has a fantastic view across the harbour.Tomorrow I'm going on an overnight cruise round Bay of Islands - lots of activities including kayaking - should be fun. Next day taking the tour bus up the 90-mile beach for more activities and maybe surfing the giant sand dunes at Te Paki. After that I shall drive down to Hamilton to meet up with an old friend. I'm meeting some very interesting people but haven't met anyone yet going RTW solo. People I speak to are quite surprised!
Went to see the Lion Man yesterday but Craig wasn't there! And the park did not appear to be doing very well. Big cats in small enclosures despite vast amount of land around them. Didn't like that - very disappointed.
So all is well here and I hope all is well with you all. Will be back in touch - probably from Hamilton. Until then lots of love. (LOVE New Zealand).

Great news
So glad you are now really enjoying yourself, Slosh. Despite living in NZ for 3 yrs we never got tto the Bay of Islands, so quite envious. Looking forward to seeing your photos
