Arrived in NZ!

2/2/2011

Arrived in Auckland at 08.05, Monday morning after 24hrs on a plane (save a brief walk in Seoul Airport to change planes) and didn't feel too bad - particularly as it was 25 degrees and sunny!

Flight with Korean Air was great. given the price, i was slightly dubious as to whether or not the plane would have full compliment of engines, wings, etc - but it did! Food and service was great - i definitely recommend flying with them!

Backpackers lodge in Ponsonby was also cool, except internet access was limited (hence why this post has taken a while!). Had fun in Auckland, the Skytower was particularly good and Devonport is like a sunblushed Isle of Wight.

Collected the car (a Diahtsu Sirion - would love to know what Top Gear think of it!) and headed to Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty for Bex's wedding. Stagdo playing golf today - what is it they say about mad dogs and englishmen?.......

Stig gives it a good write-up, but JC describes it as typically Japanese - short, squat and runs on raw fish
