Auckland city.

---

well everybody.

IM IN NEW ZEALAND!!
its unbelievable, im sitting here on a computer thousands of miles away paying 2$ an hour for internet, and i feel at home. back to those crazy feelings i was talking about.

we got in to auckland yesterday in the afternoon after a 3hour plane ride from Nadi fiji to Auckland NZ. we have a hostel right in the middle of the city on Queen street which is like Richmond st. we had a bite to eat and my bowels are back to normal. phewf.

im going to buy a digital cam after i get off here so expect some pics in the next post. yeah!

auckland is a beautiful city which reminds me a bit of montreal and a bit of new york, but not as crazy with people, and much cleaner. andy really likes it and wants to stay a bit longer. mike wants to get out a bit and see some mountains. me? im the swing vote, i think well be heading out from the city soon, i cant wait for some lush scenery and open air.

its 12:43pm in the afternoon on thursday as i write this, and 6:43pm wednesday night in London.

i talked to a few people on msn including mr green which was nice, and my family and friends yesterday a bit. it was so great talking to my family, i was overwhelmed with emotion...dont cry when you read this mom!

expect me on at random times on msn whenever i can, a taste of home fills me up better then a meal believe me. getting my mind off the road and back home is a godsend....so are these pants i got off ebay.

we went shopping and had some pb and j sandwiches this morning looking over our maps and routing out our next weeks to come.

we will be heading to a city called Hamilton, a 1 and a half hour drive south on Auckland, where we will be visiting where they filmed Hobbiton in lord of the rings. until then guys, stay safe, happy snow shoveling, and to everyone at the courthouse, im sorry about the fish stories...those were strictly for adam. lol take care guys

miss you and love you

Hi =)
Hi guys, my names Steve and I live in Auckland. I was just online reading my friends blog in mexico, and I thought I'd check out what other people think of our great city! Seems like you guys like it. I advise you to go have fish and chips out at mission bay on a sunny day. And get ice cream too! Just if you're around there anytime. Just a happy tip! See you guys =)
