February - March 2019 NZ trip

I went by Intercity bus from Cambridge to Auckland. The seats downstairs are really comfy, but still folks put their feet on them. Those are Golden State Warriors scuffs, so I had to take a photo of them!

Cambridge is near Hamilton, which is practically a dormitory suburb of Auckland these days because of the motorway that links the two. It's not a particularly scenic trip, though south of the Bombay Hills, it runs alongside the mighty Waikato River for part of the way.

When I checked in at Auckland International Airport they confiscated some novelty lighters I'd bought for friends back on Moloka'i, and also the jar of precious, lovely Vegemite I was bringing back for my morning toast! Greedy me bought a too-big sized jar and, even though I offered to eat half of it out of the jar then and there to get it down to the permissible amount, it was confiscated. Shoulda bought some NZ honey at the overpriced airport store instead!Leer más
