Hamsolo01's adventure thread

Hi @outlander @Faith-and-Hope @TAB @Former-Member @Phoenix_Rising @Sans911 @Former-Member

Thought I would drum up a bit of a thread with some updates on the trip.

Full day 1 today. Had a quick dash of breakfast and got up to visit the Sky Tower in auckland. Apparently its higher than sydney tower. Only about 20 metres or so..

Good views of the city though. Gave me some ideas on what to do over the next week. Will be going to one of the islands as well as the bridge climb with dad.

I'm enjoying being overseas. I feel like a nobody and it gives me a sense of independence.

Had lunch under a pub in a big food court. Fish and chips lol. Typical NZ.

Auckland is pretty quiet. Lots of international cuisine too.

Hopefully some pics of kiwis to come soon.

I hope you have a good christmas tomorrow guys and i will be keen to hear how youve spent your day.

Ill be on in the arvo because i would've eaten too much for lunch (no breakfast for me).

Take care of yourselves and thanks for being here too. I really like forum land.

Tonight is the last night for me in auckland

Its been a great little family trip.

We were all talking about how we enjoyed it.

Auckland was pleasantly suprising in what it had to offer.

We went off to Devonport today and saw some local sites. This included the navy musuem, easily the smallest museum i have been to. It was quite interesting learning about the history of the country. History is cool like that.

I hope you've enjoyed coming along with me on this trip. I still have some photos to upload, including a high resolution picture of a tiny spider i happened to find on a random leaf i pulled off of a tree.

Overall its been a great little trip and its given me a break from reality that i think i needed. I got a bit panicy mid week because of some stuff i found out but i think i pulled myself out of it again today when something similar happened.

Plan on getting some stuff organised this next week. Start 2018 off with a bang i think.

Either way, thank you for coming along with me on this trip. I'm thinking of making this thread a travel only one so i'll be back on my normal thread soon

Will put up pics tomorrow arvo probably. Once i recover from the flight lol.

Fare the well 🙂

@MDT...
Hanging out for the photos!
I quite like this living vicariously through another holiday posts.
Where would you go next - if money and time were no object?
