Day 41: Rather Boring Day In Transit (Nelson to Auckland)

On my way to Hobart, Tasmania.  With the timing of the flights -- decided that it would be easiest to fly into Auckland the day before my flight to Hobart (which connects through Melbourne).  Generally, I try to avoid connecting flights -- but didn't have any other option in this case -- and while I could have done all of the flights in 1 day, I didn't want to worry out about missing 2 connections.

I'm staying at the Novotel Airport at the hotel.  While very convenient for tomorrow's flight (it'll take me 1 minute to get to the check-in counter tomorrow morning) -- made it rather boring for today.  I did search out a place to get a pedicure (took a bus to a rather dodgy area -- good & cheap pedicure though -- and only witnessed the start of 1 fight between 2 girl gangs).

Weather:  sunny w/some puffy clouds, 55 - 75F
Miles Walked:  4.5
km Driven: 10km

pic notes:

  • 1:  farewell to Sparrow Cottage
  • 3:  Marlborough Sounds -- unfortunately the propellor was right behind me
  • 4:  somewhere on the west coast of the North Island
  • I really wanted to take a picture of the almost fight -- but decided it probably wasn't such a good idea
