Auckland, here we come!

Watch out Auckland! Miri's on the move! And she's got 3 of her friends with her..

It's true, I'm not lying! We arrived on the 28th early in the morning in Auckland. After we had to pass many checkpoints at the airport which was really confusing we finally went on a bus to the Hostel. It's called the Yaping House but it was about 10 Minutes to walk from the busstation and so we had to walk the whole way with this heavy backpack. Well actually it was Miri who had to carry it.. and me. It was just too early in the morning for me to take such a long walk. Instead I focused on the beautiful little houses and the awesome smells from all the flowers in the gardens. Amaying! I've never smelled something like that.. the air was still fresh and a little bit chilly (but not cold) from the night.

When we arrived at the Hostel we checked in and went straight into bed. We were so tired from the long flight: too many turbulences, too many movies and too little sleep! After we've recovererd from all that we got ready to discover the town. First we had to get some food.. man, I was starving! So we went to the supermarket and bought enough stuff that we could survive until the next day. I had the awesome Idea to walk up to Mount Eden which is only 15 minutes (staight up!) from the Hostel and I have to say: it was terrific! The view over the whole city.. all the way to the sea! And of course Miri was fascinated by all the sailboats we could see from up there. So we had a little picknick on top of the Mount. And that was about all that we did that day. Miri talked to some people at the Hostel and then we went to bed.. finally.

The next day was pretty lazy. We went up to Mount Eden again to hang out there and Miri wanted to learn some spanish because she hadn't done it for a while... and somebody has to be able to get us through in Argentina so I was okay with it. Still, it was pretty boring and I complained a lot so we made some pictures which was fun!

Look at the cool city in the background! (I know it's kinda small..)

At night we finally met Kim, Janina and Lene. The three girls have been travelling through New Zealand together for 2 weeks and now they just came back to Auckland to meet us and then fly back to Australia on the 4th. It was like they just saw each other the week before. That was nice to see them having so much fun together.
