. Saturday sawme in bed by 9, but kept awake most of the night by a Spanish guerilla looking d due with a snore like a bear drilling holes in a coconut while driving a combine harvester across a scrap yard.
Sunday saw us finally venture out into the sunshine and Auckland city.
We strolled through som random streets, aiming for the Auckland domain (hill) which I knew existed just not where. We spied a mountain in the distance and decided a small hike would do us some good. We reached the summit of the volcano (yes, volcano) and arrived at the most stunning 360 degree view of Auckland and half of the north island peninsula. Across the water we could see a rain storm over Waikiki island. "oh look" says Alex, "it's raining over there". Within 5 minutes It was "oh shit, it's about to piss it down here" and we sprinted down the mountain.Then we climbed another 'mountain', saw some ducks and stood in reverence of our glorious dead.
The rest of the afternoon was spent vegetating, followed by amazing sushi in a Japanese restaurant round the corner (I will never eat Tesco sushi again). Then we went for a quick beer....6 hours and 7 games of beer pong later we finally get to bed. tomorrow the road trip begins, once we are both safe to drive...
