New Zealand Vacation - Day 8
Auckland
Our last vacation day was a short one. We only had time to have breakfast on the go, then made our way down to the waterfront and the maritime history museum they have. It’s a really nice museum outlining the history of both Maori and European settlers and the different technology they each used. However, since the Maori had no written language, a lot of assumptions had to be made with their technology.
They had a lot of different boats on display, both small scale reproductions and full sized actual versions of more modern sailing ships. It was all pretty cool but we only had an hour or so so we had to rush to the museum. Off to the airport after that and now about to board a long flight to LAX.
Been a wonderful trip, we have very few regrets and tons of great memories. I’ll add a summary and thoughts on the trip when we get back. Have to sort through about 1200 pictures too. Special thanks to Telstra mobile Australia and Vodaphone NZ for making this blog possible. Telstra especially is the greatest network ever, paid $30 for a sim card and tons of data and credit, have so much left over and their network coverage was amazing. That’s the same price as some hotels wanted for 24 hours of Internet access!
Good night New Zealand (and Australia), we shall miss you.
