Auckland - Day 3

The Luge

Another scorching day - we woke to our next door neighbour shouting down the phone at 7am this morning - as he was not speaking English we could only guess. So up we got and set off for the Luge which was 1/2 hour outside Auckland - great fun coming hurtling down the hill this took up all the morning and we caught the sun again.

Back to the hotel for our afternoon siesta and then out for tea a lovely steakhouse - just put my trousers on for travelling home and guess what - they are now tight on me! Back to the diet soon but not before my last ice cream tomorrow in NZ! Busy doing our last wash before hitting the sack for the last time in NZ.

Tomorrow we don't fly till late in the evening so we are out of our room at 10.30am but as Santa arrives in Auckland tomorrow the roads are closed we can't get our car out of the car park till 6pm just in time to make our way to the Airport. So tomorrow is a long lie leave the room at 10.30am and head off for breakfast before watching the parade.
