Break

Exams and Stuff - busy.

Auckland, North island, Queenstown

Finally, i stayed 7 weeks in Auckland... Part of the reason was that I rented an Apartment to live in Downtown as my host family lived far away from it...

I met awesome people from all over the world. Most being Japanese or Brazilian.
I also had time to visit the nature in the north island, highlights being coromandel with the hot water beach, Hobbiton (The scenery used for the hobbits in Lord of the Rings and the new movie The Hobbit) bay of islands, 90 miles beach and the beach near piha in the west with black sand! 
South Island definitely has beautiful nature and Queenstown is certainly the city of Adrenaline :)
