Trip to Auckland

What a fun and tiring weekend. 5 of us flew up to Auckland to indulge in food, wine and drink copious amount of alcohol. You can’t put a price on travel and inappropriate fun.

Due to the late flight, we didn’t arrive into Auckland until 9:00pm and because Fiona and Nicole decided to get all pretty so they could go out on the ‘pull’, we didn’t leave the apartment till 10:30pm.
The bar of choice a little Mexican place where we drank different flavour of margaritas. So good.....
Onto the casino next for about an hour until the girlfriends got annoyed.

Saturday morning was brilliant, eating from the farmers market and shopping in the city. By 2pm, it was time to have a sit down and talk about life; yeah right! Warm 2nd floor balcony, bottles of Craggy Range later, we were stumbling back to the apartment; ok maybe just me.
Bottle-o, Kentucky bourbon & coke, supermarket, wine, apartment, drink, drink, drink.

6pm, dinner at Bellota which is a famous tapas bar owned by Peter Gordon. He’s kind of a big deal. The night slowly went downhill as the 3 bottle of wine was brought out. Mike fell off his seat then Ham decided throw a glass of water all over Mike, people in the booth next to us got up and left. As the night went on, others sitting around us slowly got up and left as well. Ah well, it was our night and we will be loud if we want to. Finished the night off with a show at the Comedy club then 8 cheeseburgers from Wendys.

Sunday morning, hangovers, mind blanks, angry Fiona, sorry Ham, rough flight, sleep.

Awesome weekend, less than 3 weeks before I depart New Zealand
