Love at..... second sight

Just to be honest, I didn't like Auckland at all the first days I was here. Boring, big, unattractive, grey city. This may have been caused by the horrible flight I had from which I will spare you the details. During my first days I stayed at Nomads Fusion, Fort St., where I got to know some backpackers. Some loved the city whereas others were happy to leave.

I was confused. This should have been my dream country ,the country which would take away my sorrows,which would put the biggest smile on my face ever! But.... no....it was not...I felt lonely, abandoned by a country I longed for so long. Desperate to leave again I got myself together and went to the office I was going to work in for the next couple of months.
Stray Travel & Space Ships in Penrose. I was on a mission. This was my second day in New Zealand (which I will refer to in the future as NZ) and my jet lag just started to get a hold on me. I dragged myself there as I wanted to make a good impression and appear a day before I had to start working. Introduce myself and get familiar with the transport system which turned out to be easy as pie.

In the end, my second day in Auckland, turned out to be fine. Not great but fine. I had a walk around the harbour and a good day and night sleep. From this day on my NZ adventure just got better and better.
