Last Day in Auckland

Sunday 19^th January – our last day in Auckland

It's our last day in Auckland and with so much to do it is difficult to make a choice. We were going to do a Harbour Cruise, but decided when we got to the terminal to just take the ferry across to Devonport, a 10 minute jump across the bay. We spent most of the day walking down the lovely streets to see the beaches. We also walked half way up an extinct volcano (small one) which had fab views across to city. What a nice place to have a picnic or go for the weekend. Needless to say it was lovely, so me thinks it is an expensive place to live, or to have a weekend house.

We are having a night in tonight to finish of the seafood, yes, we bought far too much yesterday, pack and sort ourselves out and watch Skyfall. We need to be up early tomorrow morning for the txi to take us out to the airport to pick up our camper van, and we begin the start of our next adventure/

1. 1.Getting all our stuff out to the van
2. Getting all our stuff into the van
3. Making sure we get out of Auckland on the right road
4. Don't crash the van in the first 10 minutes

Rod will have to drive tomorrow as yesterday I banged my left knee. It didn't really hurt when it happened, but today can't bend my knee or put pressure on it. Don't know what the hell I did, but it will get better.

Bye Bye Auckland and hello Hobbitland.
