At night time we went to the theatre to watch Adam Page. This was really different and cool to watch, he played fifteen different musical instruments (one was a sweet potato he drilled into something he could play and another was part of a vacuum he used as a dijeridoo), at one point he was dressed as a sumo wrestler and he had a young lad doing origami while he played. The origami was quite impressive as he made a Yoda which looked exactly like him. We were being filmed too so might be on TV at some point.
The next day we headed back up to Auckland on the overlander. This is a 12 hour scenic train with some commentary along the way. This included a short break in a small town called Ohakune where a guy put on a BBQ on the train platform, however we opted for the cheaper option of taking our own packed lunch. There was also a guy in a yellow raincoat who waves a red flag at

The next day in Auckland we went to the domain, where there were lots of stalls and stuff going on for the teddybears picnic, and went to the botanical garden and the harbour before meeting my relatives for drinks.
After this me and dave booked the last table at the revolving restaurant at the top of the skytower. This was really good as the view and the food were both excellant and it was a really good way to spend our last night in New Zealand before heading to Fiji.
