30 May, Fri (Auckland)

Ok I was greedy, watch abt 4 movies and didn't catch enough sleep. Instead of "eat-sleep-eat-sleep", I was "eat-watch-eat-watch". Haha. Total of 3 meals on board, making me really satisfied with the serving of bread and cheese for all meals. My fav. And did I mention that I got a seat next to the window? Thank God. Great view but the bonus was that Emirates planes have camera install in the front and bottom of the plane and passengers can view them any time! They really have the heart of the customers. Which reminds me of the saying "To love someone, love them in the way they want to be loved. Then they can truly feel your love."


I'm sitting at the window seat

View of Auckland from the sky!


Landed around 2pm in NZ time, 4 hrs ahead of Singapore time. Dawn told me to take a shuttle to the backpackers, cost around $25. Found a city bus for $13 (single) or $20(2 way) for back packers. Did Dawn get the price wrongly or God gave me discount. Haha. Turn out that the city shuttle that Dawn was talking about is cab shared with other people that can stop at the door step. She didn't want to recommend bus, fearing that I might get lost. But angels was guiding me all the way to my accommodation. Saved bucks!

Another testimony at the lodge. They didn't take down Dawn's booking for me. In other words, no booking! Luckily there was still one room available and I quickly grab it. Coz my luggage were really heavy and I need a rest. Check out the area around it. Pretty small and quiet. Totally different from the city back home. Finally met up with dawn! She still look the same! :-) had delicious Chinese panfried steam bao and soya duck for dinner. By china people. Real nice.
