Auckland Sucks.... Except for the Sky Tower

Ok, I've spent 4 nights here so far and its really not that great, I wish I were travelling around on the Kiwi Experience but I don't have the cash to do it (no thanks to Natwest for refusing my graduate loan application). Its too expensive for me to get a working visa, tax number & a bank account and then spend time looking for a job so I have instead just paid to have my flight to Sydney brought forward to tomorrow morning at 7am (7pm Brit time). I'll work lots in Sydney and save up my dollar bills, then probably change my flights or get an extra flight and do the Kiwi Experience sometime next year. Auckland itself is ok, there is a good mix of culture here and there are some ok bars / clubs, (and although a nice receptionist called Lisa who works in the hostel fancies me) I just don't have the cash to stay around here... Plus the clothes shops are crap. I mean really crap, Leicester is far superior for shopping and thats saying something.


I ventured up the Sky Tower armed with my digital camera, the views from there were wicked, I could have done a Sky Tower climb, where you go really far up the tower, but I can't remember how high.. Anyway, it was high but I decided I was skint enough so I shouldn't spend more money on it... You could see everything from the Sky Tower, Auckland is really spread out... Other than the Sky Tower there isn't much else to do but mingle with the Kiwi's and talk about Rugby. (Which I still can't appreciate, despite watching the Kiwi's pan the Aussies in the League game the other night)



Cya later New Zealand!
