New Zealand, Day 16

One last bus ride. Museli for breakfast, thanks to the continental services at the hostel. We’re off! We moved out of the nasty smelling town of Rotorua and traveled, slowly, to Auckland. It usually only takes 3 hours to get there from Rotorua, but we kept stopping in random towns for very long periods of time for not apparent reason really. We stopped at a town right along the coast, before Thames, for about an hour and a half. I grabbed a latte and walked down to chill on the beach. We laid there for a little bit then hopped back on the bus. An hour later, we stopped in Thames to waste some more time. We had lunch then left another hour and a half later. Nothing like bangin out the last bus ride in a timely manner. C’mon guy. And then he tells us, he’s “tired”. Great, well don’t fall asleep at the wheel or anything. It’d be nice to make it to Auckland in one piece please! We’re just about there, I think we’re about 50km away. Not too much longer! We’ll probably stop for another few hours just to sit around before we actually get into the city. Who knows. Well, sadly, that’s all for today! We’ll check into our hostel in just a bit, City Lodge, and chill around the city as our vacation comes to an end. We’ll leave Tuesday morning from New Zealand to go back to OZ!
