So, we spent a day in Auckland, but three nights in the apartment we rented. The apartment was extremely well located, right at the harbourfront. Below is a picture of the view from my window. Below that, a view from my parents' window at night. Cool, eh? (The picture was made possible by the tripod that my parents brought me. Thank you, isa ja aiti!)
This next one is a very random picture of the carpet of... someplace. Can't remember. I thought it was, hmm, artistic? Yeah, "artiiiiiiste"... If you get my drift.
Auckland wasn't bad. It was a big city. The museum was interesting, but it took ages just to get through the first floor (maori artefacts and some random historical collections). So we didn't have time for the third floor (wars and wars and wars. The boer wars, WWI and WWII.)
I was tempted to "sky-jump" off the SkyTower, but eventually the price, NZ$170, around 80 euros, put me off. It would have been cool though. At least I think it would have.
I can't remember much else from Auckland, at least off the top of my head. Rangitoto Island and Piha beach and valley were much more memorable.

Ha! Piha beach. Honey you're famous already! :D
Auckland sounds cool. New Zealand itself is amazing as it is!
What is "sky-diving"? Is it like bungy jumping?
The pictures (even the random one with the carpet) are very nice. You had an awesome view out your window.
Life here WAS starting to calm down... until I realised I have exams next week. *sigh* Ah well.
Hope you're still having fun.
Have you changed jobs?
If so, do I still write to the same address?
Love,
Ale*
P.S. Did you get my first letter?
No, I didn't get your letter... I've moved over to my boss' place, but I should think my original hosts would have contacted me if the letter had arrived at their place... When did you send it? Address will be... volatile, for the next couple of weeks. But if you keep sending to the first address, they'll reach me eventually.
Sky diving is rather like bungee, except you fall "flat", not head first. See more of the view. :P
Haven't changed jobs yet, ONE DAY LEFT! Scary...
Good luck for exams! Look at the bright side: at least you don't have to do maths. Any comfort? :/
Love you
