a day in Auckland

two days in Auckland... with no book of Mormon. we bail.

early morning, Deb and I decide to fly home early. we've seen a bit of town, there's nothing we desperately want to do, the aus government may well close the borders. it's time to get home.

i spend five minutes on the Web but changes need to be done by phone. ten minutes on the phone, mostly waiting, and it's all done. too late to leave today, we leave tomorrow morning. a day and a half less in Auckland.

the apartment we're in shares the building with a hotel, we have breakfast in the hotel. i have a pancake stack with jam, and bacon on the side. which i eat with the pancakes. delicious. yesterday was the best meal, today is just as good but posh.

we go for a random cache walk... head for the nearest cache, then the next nearest... it takes us to interesting places we have not seen before. and we do find some caches :-)

almost back at the hotel, there's a taxi parked, waiting for customers. we ask him, how long will it take to get to the airport? by the time we walk on... we have agreed that he will be there to pick us up at 7:15 tomorrow.

back in our room. we relax. do a load of washing, no real need but there is a washing machine / dryer. it takes hours but is done when we go out for dinner.

we walk towards hobsons wharf, there are plenty of restaurants etc there. we were there on our walk, we stopped for coffee and a very chocolatey brownie.

we eat dinner at the v grill. i have steak, deb decides to try pork belly. my steak is delicious, deb says her pork is also delicious.

walking back -- up the hill -- we get some chocolate, for dessert in our room.

a reminder pops up on my tablet, Book of Mormon... sigh.

we just relax.
