My friend Siobhan and I started traveling around the world on January 31st 2009. As of today, February 6th, we've been to Hong Kong and a few cities in New Zealand. But those are just 2 out of the +15 countries we plan on visiting!

Auckland, NZ

Hello everyone from Auckland, New Zealand! Its almost 3am over here, but i seriously can not sleep (and the hostel's owner said i could borrow his laptop's wireless modem at night when the hostel is closed, so here i am )

The flight from HK to NZ was KILLER. But when we arrived was sunny and gorgeous, so that put us in a very good mood. Which unfortunely didn't last long, since we walked around for over 40 minutes looking for a hostel that apparently doesn not exist (we couldn't find it, and noone had heard of it), so we ended up in this modest hostel, sharing bedroom with 2 girls from Southafrica. Sooo different to HK! Not our own bedroom, no flat screen, no pool, welcome to the backpacker life Naia!

We left our stuff in the hostel and went out to check out the city. We were very dissapointed to discover Auckland its a pretty boring city. But it got worst, we asked for the nearest beach and it was 40 minutes away! We asked around, found a bus that went to the beach, and finally got there. Very nice beach, but very busy, not impressive. Bottom line, Auckland is boring as hell.
Well, at least we found a super cheap asian nail salon and got our fake nails rolling

Yes you are right. Aukland is boring. We hired a car and went for drives and would not stay in Aukland for more than one night.
