I'm here!

I'm in actual Auckland! How the hell did that happen?
In bullet points because I don't know how much time I have left on this computer:

*Nearly didn't get here because of the first October snow in London for 70 years!
*Flights were OK. Saw Get Smart, Son of Rambow and got very stiff and solid legs. Freaked my out a bit, like tree trunks they were! Going down now though.
*Saw the sunrise over the sticky out bit of Australia!
*Flew over the Himalayas!
*Didn't pay airport tax!
*Hostel's nice and has a cat! And there's weird birds which make awesome noises. In dire need of a bird book. There's birds and I don't know what they are!~ Can't be doing with that. Bell birds probably. But also chaffinches, sparrows, starlings and blackbirds. They flew a long way!
*Got hungry so got on a bus to Sky City only I went the wrong way. Had a Burger King which was OK but weird and tasted a lot different to UK ones. Don't like foreign food!
*Ended up taking a tour of the city on a bus going the wrong way to what I thought it was. Only wanted to go down the road!
*Off to wander around the city now. See the sky tower, museum, harbour and whatnot. Going to the zoo tomorrow. Probably the only way I'll see a kiwi.

Toodle oo.
