We are bloody pooped. We are now in Auckland after only a 23 hour stay in Jo'Burg. We stayed in amazing guest house in Melville, a cool district that reminded me of San Francisco. The weather was really hot and we went to a great contemporary and traditional designer market at Rosebank, well worth a visit. From what we briefly saw South Africa and Jo'burg are amazing places and we definitely want to head back.
The flight from SA was a long one, 10.5 hours to Sydney, a 2 hour wait then a 2.5 hour flight to Auckland. We landed at midnight and fell into bed at the guest house.
Yesterday we were very dazed and confused, slowly wandered around the restaurants, galleries and cafe bars of Parnell, a slightly poncy area of Auckland. After a rubbish nights sleep we are in Auckland today to do what you do in these type of places - up the Sky Tower to do a walk or jump very high up.
Last night we planned the trip around the North Island, summed up by the following 'wine, caving, canoeing and Lord of the Rings sight seeing' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We pick the campervan up tomorrow and although we have it 15 days it will be a real reduced visit because there is too much to see and do here. I am looking forward to it.
