Farewells to my land of dreams come true

This is my last post from NZ tomorrow I leave New Zealand for Fiji.

In Paihia I went horseriding it was fun to some degree. I was with 2 elderly people so they didn't want to ride fast and my horse didn't want to go fast at all. In fact the horse didn't want to go at all I spent most of my time trying to get the damn geegee to move. It wanted to eat the leaves which are nice and juicy not like the grass. So sometimes when I tried to pull it's head up it refused and ducked it back down again nearly throwing me off. Stubborn git. I pulled on the riens sometimes and pulled it's head and eye as near to me and gave it a good talking to then it would go for another 5 mins and I'd have the same problem all over again.

I got the bus to Auckland the next morning and had a horrible ride. It poured and I felt really miserable knowing that this was the last sightseeing in NZ that I was going to get and wanted to be there in Auckland immediately (just click my little red shoes) the wait and watching the road all the time got me really depressed. But we made it and I got to Auckland in the afternoon.

One of the first things I had to do in Auckland was buy a pair of trousers. All of my trousers are worn through from walking and as I tried to stitch the holes together I made even more holes so I've given up and had to submit to buying a pair. Now I've got one pair of trousers not 2 like before. ;-)

In Auckland I'm staying with my aunt and cousins. My Uncle Alex is on board ship at the moment. I have a few nights here and then I'm getting the flight. So doing some last minute shopping and bookings for Fiji before I fly out tomorrow.

So say you're last goodbyes to New Zealand and hello to Fiji. Goodbye to my land of dreams and hello to sunshine and, hopefully, a tan!
