…is captured in the photos I’ve uploaded in the usual place<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s been an odd couple of days. I woke up on Sunday morning in LA, then spent all day in LA (Hard Rock Cafe for the win!), got on a flight to NZ at 20:30 and arrived in New Zealand this morning (Tuesday) at 06:00 after a 12.5 hour flight.<\/p>\n

I managed about 30 minutes of sleep on the plane, but managed to get a few hours in this morning in the hostel. Still, I’ve no real idea what day or time I think it should be.<\/p>\n

Hooray for travelling long distances, staying up for over 24 hours and generally being too tired to think!<\/p>\n

The hostel (right next to Mount Eden) is lovely, the bed massively comfortable and the people there friendly, which are all Ace Things ™. The weather’s also splendid – sunny skies and around 20 degree Celcius. Hooray!<\/p>\n

Just been up the Auc<\/i>kland Sky Tower, which was pretty cool – scary too due to the continuation of Pat’s Phear Of Heights – but I’ve got some good photos of the view (and
\nof a couple of nut jobs participating in the “Hey, why not pay $200 to jump 192 metres from the top of the tower?” Sky Jump thing… I swear some of these type of people are actually clinically insane)… and aside from that been wandering around a bit taking it all in. Had a nice trip up Mount Eden too.<\/p>\n

Photos, as I say, are in the usual place<\/a>. I’m too lazy to link to them directly :-)<\/p>\n

Got the Kiwi Experience starting on Thursday morning, which should be a whole range of fun, insanity and (largely) drinking. Can’t wait!<\/p>\n

Speak soon!<\/p>\n

Toodles,<\/p>\n
