I had a great last day in Sydney the weather was beautiful and I got a lot done. I booked my car rental for NZ as well as my shuttle to the airport for Wednesday morning at 3am. I would like to thank Mo, Tony, Dan and Joe, for taking such good care of me in Terrey Hills and feeding me like a king.
I headed to the Airport at 3 am Wednesday morning, when I got there at 3:40am I found out the Airport didn't open till 4 and I had to wait outside the airport terminal until it opened. Then after I got in, the attendant from Quantas tried to give me a hard time about not having my itinerary printed out but after some discussion I was able to persuade her to print me out a copy since all my flights are booked American/Quantas. After checking in I discovered that customs didn't open till 5 so I was forced to wait around again...
Once I got to New Zealand, I picked up my rental car for NZ$ 19 a day and headed off to meet Gregor. He took me on a tour of the city and the beaches, it was really special because due to the recent full moon there was an extreme low tide. I am headed north to Ruakaka tomorrow and hope to be able to share more beautiful scenery with you all.
