A Long But Fun Day
Yesterday (Friday 18th) I had to be up quite early in time to get my 9am coach from the train station in Wellington. I decided to walk it and with my heavy backpack it nearly killed me. On the map it looks quite close to the hostel but infact it was a 25min trek!
I made it with plenty of time but the coach was quite late arriving. The journey is supposed to be 11 hours but because of delays it was a 12 hour trip! Luckily for me I met a nice woman from Switzerland on the coach and the day passed very quickly. In the space of a day we have become friends and we are going to write to each other in each others languages (she speaks Swiss-German) when we get home – eek! When we arrived in Auckland we went out for something to eat and also a drink before heading back to our hostels 
Today is my last full day in Auckland as I fly home tomorrow at 9.30pm. I am going to do a little shopping today for gifts as I haven’t really bought any yet!
Anyway, I must go
Have a safe trip home James.Looking forward to seeing you and hearing all about your adventures…..especially the videos that you have had taken.
