The only thing I really knew about Auckland is that they had a big tower called the Sky Tower so I decided that this would be the place where I would rest, save some money and relax. I have big plans for Los Angeles and I am knackered so time to get my thoughts together and rest.
On Monday I went to the Sky Tower and went right up to the Sky Deck and saw all of Auckland and that was about all I did apart from going to a Japanese restaurant and eating some weird and wonderful food. Did a bit of shopping and walked about a bit but nothing major. I lost AU$600 at the hotel in Sydney so I rung them up and they said it would cost me AU$110 to send them to my hotel in Auckland so I asked for the codes of the cheques rung American Express and claimed them back from a bank in Auckland with no cost.
Next will be Los Angeles where I hope to get flights to New Orleans and Mexico City but might just do New Orleans depending on how I feel and the availibility. I emailed a good hostel in Mexico City and reserved a room for two nights and they actually emailed back to confirm so thats promising. I will ask at the hotel reception and ask to book a night in New Orleans or go there and find some where but I have asked other hotels before and I got the feeling they couldn't be bothered. See what happens It's coming to an end now with only 2 weeks,book some other jaunts when I get back home.
Take care.
Robert
