A Massive Plane & Undesirable Auckland

Auckland, New Zealand

This blog is going to be short.

We boarded a massive plane, it was great.

We visited Auckland City centre, it was St Patrick’s Day so full of drunk people and highly undesirable.

Other Mentions:

– Our arrival was all about 1’s. Our airport exit door was number 11, our car space was 1111 and our hotel room was also 11…spook alert

– If you ever go to Auckland, go eat at Elliot Stables, it’s a wonderfully quiet and unique place in which several restaurants occupy and share the same indoor space so you can eat anywhere and sit anywhere within a gourmet environment

– New Zealand is a little like Wales, a little less sheep and a bit more steam (more later)

– Whatever you do, do not smuggle a Queensland Fruit Fly into the country. Seriously, I’ve never seen so much security, bag checks and panic in any airport security. Luckily for us we hadn’t helped a fly gain asylum, but I did have my red apple confiscated.
