Auckland, 4th October
Well, I was right, we did get up at 2am, Susan got back to Sleep but I didnt so I am flagging a little now but we are just off to eat now.
It's been an interesting day – we went on a tour of Auckland on a bus that you get on and off as you please. The rain started so we stayed on and did the whole city tour then went back to the things that wanted to see. It was a good way to see the city and kept us dry. We ended up at a museum where Susan was frog marched off the premises – ok I exaggerate for effect! She bought a bottle of water from a machine but after drinking half of it was told that she was not allowed to drink it in the museum. (seems they are happy to sell it but not allow you to drink it) a foreign woman in uniform escorted her to the exit where she was allowed to drink it, she chucked it in the bin anyway.
After that we walked through a district called Parnell which was really nice as the sun had appeared again, stopped for coffee and then got the bus to an old electric station converted to a shopping area. A bit arty and hippy, Tom even contemplated buying candles to stick in the lugs which are meant to be a cure for everything. He didnt!
I bought a new carry on case and 3 t-shirts.
