Once back we spent maybe hour back at hour before we left for another little trip up to Mount Eden. This is my first ever visit to a volcano. We drove right to the top and had a look around the city. Unfortunately the weather was awful, really cold and windy and not very clear. I'd like to go back another time on a clear day to see the views properly. Before we came home we meet Liz in the town and went for coffee at a small place called 'Circus circus'
This evening great. I planned to go out tonight later but before I did Nessa, Paul and I went out to get a curry from Howick, Yum! We also picked up a few a bottles of beer from the liquor store then came back to eat. I also got to watch the first half of the rugby and see my first All Black haka! I left the house just before half eight so i would be have plenty of time to get down to the port and be able to catch the 8.45 ferry into the city.Once down there I couldn't see anyway ferries waiting or even coming or going. After having a closer look at the timetable I realised I had been looking at the Mon - Fri times, not the Saturday's so I had infact missed the last ferry by about 3 hours opps :S I came straight back up to the house and on route text Marie to let here know I'd be late or see if it was possible to get a lift! It was:] It was a little annoying I missed the ferry but i meant I got to relax a little longer and watch the rest of the rugby before she arrived!
Marie came with a few others and we all went back to her place first for a few drinks before getting a taxi into town to meet another group or people in one of their flats. As soon as we arrived they had just started playing a drinking game called 'Circle of Death' I think I was quite on the ball so didnt't get to wasted before we went out! We had to walk to the club in the rain and went to a place called 'Be' quite close to the bottom of Queen street! I enjoyed it there and had a few drinks bought for me :] We left around three am and Marie, Inka and I went for a coffee before heading back to the flat to sleep!
