It's was good bye to Sydney and Hello to Auckland in New Zealand today. It ended up a pretty long day of travelling but it is alway worth while when we get to visit somewhere new.
We have been trying to extend our travelling budget on this trip and tried to use as much public transport as possible. So we were up early walked to the local train station in Sydney, luckily where was an express option with one change that got us to the airport with plenty of time to spare.
It seemed to take forever for the plane to take off at Sydney airport but it did get us to Auckland on time.
We had been warned about the public transport in Auckland but we were still keen to give it a go as it was way cheaper and we got to see lots of the local neighbours. I Though we would be OK travelling against the peak hour traffic heading into the central business district but it got grid locked a couple of times and progress was slow through a few of the bigger satellite suburbs.
Slow but it still got us where we needed to go and we even meet a few of the locals who all gladly helped us with little adventure.
Learning a new public transport system is a new place is a great way to keep me aliveandthriving.
My activity count was a bit lower than usual with all the travel and we lost a few hours flying east towards the date line.
