July 19: Day 23

This morning I woke up pretty early...(about 9:15..I thought it was early) and my roommate was already gone. I was going to take the ferry over to Devonport. So I decided to go on a lonely adventure! It was so beautiful..just a little city in the bay that looked back at Auckland. There were some shops and a museum. I had lunch and headed back to Auckland. I took a nap at about 3 pm and then about 4 I headed down Queen St to see if I could find some good souveiners. I know I'm still here for 3 more weeks, but the next few weekends I will not be in Auckland and most everything is closed after I get off work...so its nice to have a shopping day! When I came back Sabrina (my roommate) and I started planning a trip to Australia for 2 weekends from now. I had remembered that Phil wanted to also go, so I went and asked him and he got everyone together and we planned a trip!! I am so excited! We decided not to go to Sydney on account of its just another big city. It would be really neat to see the Opera House...but I guess I'll just Google a picture of it.
We are going to Gold Coast which is surfers paradise. I know its winter time here but it is a lot warmer in Australia than in NZ. It is supposed to be in the 60's and 70's. There is ATVing, a kangaroo farm, surfing (of course), snorkeling, and hiking. I am so excited..we are leaving on a Wednesday and comming back on Sunday, so its not just a 2 day trip!
This trip is going to be absolutely unbelieveable...and I am so glad with technology today...I haven't had to document it all by hand..I hate hand writing things (sad, I know, blame modern technology I guess). Some girls have been writing in journals and they don't do it for weeks at a time because it takes so long..this is nice because I don't have great handwriting and I think quicker when I am typing...
Sorry just a thought I had about not having to write this all down...because we all know there would be no written account of my nz trip.
