Happy New Year!!!

Day 48

We arrived in Auckland where we were delighted to see our bags going round on the carosel. We caught the bus into town and got to our hostel where we were told our room wouldn't be ready for another 6 hours!! We tried to sleep in the hostel lounge and luckily after 3 hours, our room was ready. We went back to sleep until mid-afternoon, it took a further two hours to be able to keep our eyes open before we got ready to go out. We walked down to the harbour and had a yummy mexican meal followed by some drinks in a couple of bars. We saw new year in in a funky little bar and pretty much headed back to the sanctuary of our bed just after 12. Considering New Zealand is pretty much the first major country to see new year in, it's not really a big deal at all. No one was dressed up or anything and everyone left early doors.

Hope you all celebrated in style and had a good one! Happy New Year, we hope 2006 brings you lots of happiness.

Happy New Year
Hi mate(s), just finished reading your last up dates. Sounds like you are having a great time. We are now in Ko Samui. Have a good time in NZ. We would be interested in your thoughts on your various hostels etc as it would help us when we get out there. Cheers, Dad
