An unexpected 'extra' day in New Zealand!
January 28, 2008
The Sky Tower - people pay for the privilege to jump off it!
Or, to put it another way: breathing through your mouth for two hours whilst hoping the bloke sat next to you isn’t the talkative type!

It got worse when I arrived at Auckland Airport and realised that I’d missed my flight to Rarotonga - I’d made the stupid error of misreading my ticket and arrived only the twelve hours too late for my flight. Bugger! A quick chat with the Air New Zealand customer desk and NZ$50 later and I was booked onto a flight the following evening. Panic over and with a minimal dent to my bank account!
That night I stayed at the huge ACB in downtown Auckland where I took full advantage of their NZ$10 all-you-can-eat Pizza offer at the basement bar and stuffed myself silly on a variety of deliciously greasy pizza and a few beers - whilst unsuccessfully attempting to chat-up the barmaid - before crashing out on my bed... alone!
