I'm in Auckland. I was up at 9 this morning, and took a nice walk around the neighbourhood with Ruby and Ella-Rose, my "cousins". At 11.30 my dad picked me up and we went to lunch, to a pub called Shakespeare, which was actually quite nice. We had a good chat and then some of his work mates stopped by and they started talking about insurance fraud and how New Zealand might become a republic (and how pointless that would be) and I kind of zoned out.
We're going to St Lukes at about 2.30 so I don't have a lot of time...
The bus trip was alright. We arrived at 7.20pm instead of 6.35pm, and the bus station was uber grotty, and I did end up sitting next to this slightly annoying old English woman, but other than that it was pretty sweet. I read an entire book (The Long Walk by Stephen King- about 340 pages), and other than that I didn't have a whole lot to do. I hate not having an iPod or MP3 player :(
My Aunty Sam, who I'm staying with, moved house in July and this is the first time I've been here. It must have cost them an absolute fortune. It's in Parnell (very nice neighbourhood) and the house is all white walls and big windows and carpeted stairs, and there's a good sized swimming pool out back. I'm glad I'm staying here and not at my dad's, which is kinda small and boring.
Um yeah we're leaving now so I'm gonna go.

Ooh, Parnell. V swish.
ReplyDeletePff. My house has carpeted stairs. :P
