Auckland

I'm still getting used to the idea that I'm going to be going home tomorrow!

Well today wasn't anything really exciting as I just went shopping!

I went upto Parnell and wandered around for a bit, there are some lovely shops up there and lots of art shops that I looked in! They also had the company that designed and made the clothes for LOTR and Narnia so I went in to look at the elven cloaks! They had an Oscar on display for costume design from LOTR! It was really nice in there and the lady that was working there also worked for Weta when they were producing LOTR!

I then went to Newmarket and looked around but this was like any other high street!

I then made my way to Victoria Park Markets where I looked around the stores. This was a strange place as they had really nice shops like Nike and Birkenstock shops, then they also had really tacky fake designer brands shops!

I then went back to the city centre and bought myself a new suitcase as I don't have enough room in mine!

Back at the hostel I packed and then myself and my dormmate went to dinner together. Whilst looking for somewhere to eat we came across a lovely little bookshop up a back street called Unity Books. It was so sweet! Lots of books and little note cards on the shelves giving a synopsis of the book by a member of staff who had read it!

We ended up going to Wagamama's for dinner which was really nice and then we walked back down to the hostel stopping to get an ice cream on the way for dessert!

We both went on the internet when we got into the hostel and then I still had packing to do so I went back to the dorm room to finish packing before bed!
