better late than never hey?

well, sorry, the update from new zealand didn't come the other night as promised to some :(

but i had trouble logging into the site from the hostel so ended up giving up. i had forgotten just how 'basic' a basic youth hostel can be.....but at least it was a bed for the night.

but as my family will tell you, there can't be a kerrie holiday without dramas.....the bus trip from the airport to the hostel was supposed to take 30 minutes - 2 hours later i got there. which actually worked out alright for me in the end because i didn't have to walk my bags up this enormous hill!!!!!!!!!!!

and then i found that the bistro that was promising me dinner and breakfast was CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so i had to traipse round auckland looking for something to eat - ended up with noodles and a banana. nearly had to resort to the old baked beans - wardie - i want my tin back!

after a good night's sleep, i found a coffee shop that makes absolutely awesome coffee. worked a treat and then off to the airport.

from where the next part of the adventure began........................................
