2-July
Landed at about 10.30am, a beautiful morning. Registered for BBH then took a super shuttle to Bamber House, View Road. After settledown, went to town (QueenStreet) to have lunch and open a local bank account. It starts raining when we left the Bamber house. The food are pretty expensive here. Then we took the bus back to View Road, and walked to FoodTown (hypermarket) at Valley Road. Got some items and back to the hostel to cook our dinner. First time sharing the kitchen with the others are kinda wierd. The kitchen is quite well equiped. After a hot shower, it is bed time.. hurray!!... Can't sleep well on the plane.
3-July
A very good morning, and we slept till 1pm, due to some jetlag. Then make our brunch, and head to Mt Eden just about 20 minutes from Bamber House. Again, about a couple minutes after we left Bamber House, it starts raining. However, it stops in about 1/2 an hour. It is quite often Auckland rain in the afternoon. We do not have an umbrella, but no choice and keep walking, as our sweater are water proof. Mt Eden was the highest volcano in Auckland. It gives us quite a nice view of the whole Aukland from the top. Then, we took a trip to QueenSt again, to buy the Flexipass, at SkyCity Tower and make bookings for our next trip which is Rotorua on 5-July. Walking along the Hobson St bring us to Port of Aukland. Ships and birds, Hiltons.. high class area. around that area are many highrise buildings and offices. Tried Mc-D's Fries (m) at NZ$2.10. At night we went to Food Town again with Taiwan friends, Estee and Jacklyn to share some food.
4-July
Changed the room from Double to Twin room. $2 cheaper per person. During the breakfast time, nearly burn the kitchen as the cake I preheat with the microwave was over heat. Good experience. The rest of the days is staying in the hostel to look for job. Online is kinda expensive over here. Estee made taiwanese glutinious rice and "kuih" for us to try. New recipe learnt!
