Livin' in Kiwi-land. :)

Our last day in Sydney was the relaxing day that both Kelly and I NEEDED. We got up late, stayed in our PJ's until about 10, watched a movie in the morning, walked to the local mall and did some shopping, walked back and watched another movie, got taken out to supper, packed, and then went to bed! It was GREAT :)

On Saturday we arrived in Auckland. We got a great deal by riding the AirBus RIGHT to the front door of our hostel! After we checked into our LOVELY room - it's a 2 bed room with a fridge, TV, and our own bathroom - Kelly and I went and bought a few groceries to get us through the next few days. After that we chilled out for a while and then made our way to the local hostel bar where they offered FREE pizza! We met a few people there (both guys and girls primarily from Ireland and England) and hung out with them for most of the night. We crashed and were COMPLETELY thrown off in time because not only is NZ 2 hours ahead of Sydney, but it also just happened to be Daylight Savings Time on that very day which pushed it back ANOTHER hour.

Today we woke up and went shopping with one of the Irish girls we met the night before. We had a great time and got lots of stuff... well, enough that we can bring home without getting in trouble! We THEN did something super adventurous! We did what is called the Sky Walk where we walked around this building kind of like the space needle... It was a bit scary but a lot of fun! After that we headed back to our hostel for a pretty chill night. :)

It's hard to believe I only have 2 more days here! Ah! It's definitely bittersweet... :)
