Day 127 Auckland, New Zealand

Thursday 13th October 2005

sunny 19 °C

Woke up thankful I had my camera back in my possession again although luckily I had managed to save all my photos on my laptop so I wouldn’t of really lost anything, well except for several hundred pounds buying a new one.
It was a fairly nice day weather wise and we went for a walk down to the Victoria Market although there wasn’t much to see there in the way of people selling things except fake football shirts and a few other clothing and food stalls. After that we walked along the harbour where theres some very nice flats looking out over the water and onto Princes Wharf where the buildings including the Hilton Hotel are in the shape of a cruise ship.
By then it was around 2pm and as the others decided they were heading back to the hostel to relax I had a walk around the shops to see if I could find some hiking trousers although everywhere I looked seemed to be expensive so I headed back as well and looked forward to going out later that night.
That night Fiona came and picked me up and she took me to Mt Eden first then followed by One Tree Hill. Both of these places I really wanted to see while I was here and as we didn’t have a car yet I have to thank her for taking me to see these places. You get fantastic views of Auckland from Mt Eden and even though by the time we got to One Tree Hill it was nearly dark it looks like a great place to visit during the summer so hopefully she will invite back here one day hahaha!!!!!
Food was next on the menu and as a romantic gesture Fiona took me out for fish and chips and apple pie, what more could any man ask for although truthfully it was my suggestion to go there and even though I wasn’t sure what sort of fish I was eating it turned out to be very very nice indeed.
