two weeks

Hah, so it's been a good two weeks since my last post... I doubt anybody reads this anymore... but I'm putting a reward out there. The first person to comment on this post will get TEN THOUSAND Indonesian Rupiahs from me when I get back home- now *that's* a lot of money.

Anyways, the last couple of weeks have been a pretty crazy adventure. Started off in Auckland where I was staying with my mum's uncle and aunt. It was a nice harbour city- reminded me of a smaller version of Sydney. I also went to a Baha'ii service with my relatives, who introduced me to a lady from Indonesia who asked me to send a package to her sister in Jakarta who in turn showed me around the city... but that's me getting ahead of myself.

Heeere's Auckland:
















After Auckland I went to Wellington by train. It was advertised as an incredible scenic experience. While it was quite a view, I don't think it compared to what I saw in the South Island. The city of Wellington itself though was a lot of fun to visit. As the capital of New Zealand, it had the country's Parliament, and it's best museum- one of the better one's I've ever been to. There were also a bunch of really nice cafes on Cuba St. in Wellington. It was also the city where I watched the FIFA World Cup Finals... though I had to be up at 6am to do so.

Welly pics:

















After my 2 days in Wellington, I had to fly back to Auckland- because I already booked my ticket from Auckland to Bali before adding Welly as a destination. The Auckland to Bali flight had a connection in Sydney. This meant that in 24 hours I flew from Wellington to Auckland to Sydney to Bali. Crazy stuff.

Anyways, I'm going to save my Indonesia and Singapore posts for when someone claims that Rupiah prize!

Goodbye =)
