We awoke early this morning so we could get showered before everyone else woke up. We had breakfast and boarded the bus with Dusty. We all sat at the front, all 6 of us and it was such a laugh. We set off at 7.45am for Auckland.
Our first stop was Paeroa, home of L&P. We stopped at the brewery factory and took a photo in front of the massive bottle. It was a brief stop before heading off for the town centre. We had enough time for a brew and a quick hello to Rangi from the last Magic Bus before heading to Auckland.
It was a short 4 hour bus journey but such a laugh. We pulled off towards Tamaki Drive, passed the most expensive street in New Zealand to live and onto the Michael Joseph Savage Memorial. He was the first Labour Prime Minister and was held quite highly obviously. Surprising though he was an aussie!! What a view from the top though, there was actually some people learning the haka which we watched for a short while.
We were then driving our last journey on the Magic Bus and into the city centre.
We were dropped off at Base Backpackers and a short walk later we were at the All Seasons Hotel. 16 floors up and a view over the city, it’s really quiet!
We done our washing and were just on our way to the pub when we got a text from Mum and Dad H to say there were in their room. We knocked on their door, it was so strange seeing them again. After a brief chat it was off to the pub downstairs and a proper catch up. Sounds like they had an awesome time, we’re now sitting in the room for a freshen up before heading into the city for some tea.
We all met up at 6pm and had a walk to see if we could find somewhere to eat. We ended up having a very nice Chinese.
We were all shattered after that so made our way back to the hotel to chill in front of the telly.
