I'm here!!

Okay, Auckland was amazing. I recommend it all for everyone. We spent a night in a nice hostel called Base X. It was a block from the docks and a block from Queen Street-the equivalent of Michigan Avenue. Lots of shops and tourists. We blended right in. We walked all over town and saw as much as we could. Sky Tower was amazing. Any way, next morning we packed up and went to the Bay of Islands. It was so beautiful and very tropical. We spent the day on the beach and riding mopeds around town. We stayed at the Bay Adventurer Hostel. It was lovely. We rented scooters from there and toured the city for a couple of hours. The Haruru Falls were gorgeous and only a short ride away. In all the sun I got a bit of a sunburn, but nothing that can't be managed. Then we travelled all day yesterday and came to Waitomo. The Glo Worm caves. It is amazingly beautiful. Cows frollicking in the field keeping us up all night, but really it is so green and lush, who can complain? Not I. We drove through Hamilton-it was such a pretty clean town. It was very safe feeling, almost like home. But, the whole country is very nice-I don't feel scared about anything. I have wandered off more than once. --The fish and chips: Awesome. Blackwater rafting is on the Itenerary today. I recommend this to all!!
