My Grand Pacific NZ Tour officially starts tonight, and I'll meet the rest of my fellow adventurers at the evening meal. My friends, Kevin and Jill from drama (Hello, Kevin and Jill!), took the same tour last year and their group consisted of Australians, so I'm wondering if it'll be the same for my group.
After a busy day of travelling yesterday, I took it easy today (and wasn't best pleased when the workmen on the building site opposite woke me up at around 8am with their loud machinery. *Shakes fist at noisy workmen*). Skycity Hotel (where I'm staying) issued me with a complimentary ticket to the Sky Tower, so I went up there this afternoon to see amazing views around Auckland. It took two years and nine months to build and cost NZ$85 million to construct!
Update: The couple I sat next to at dinner were from Virginia, so I'll give a shout-out to my American friend Rhonda who also lives there (Hello, Rhonda!).
