Hey, my name's Sarah. We spoke before on another thread I think. I think I might chase up the travel co for my travel docs coz I'll be leaving England before too long and I want to make sure I can get on the tour!! lol. Do you know what time it starts? My flight lands at about 1am, I might be a bit of a disaster for the 1st day I think! lol.

I've been looking at the optional extras and don't know what to do, they all look really good!

Hi Donna,

In Auckland, if you haven't you should check out Kelly Tarton's (I still haven't, been here 8 years). Also check out Soul bar (nice food). Ummm you can go Waiheke Island (very close to auckland ferry service). And the usualy Sky tower (the best in southern hemisphere).
You can also check out the some fine sea food (Akld fish market or Sails restaurant) even though I am vegetarian that is the best place sea food place in Akld.

haha I guess I can been a tour guide!
