oh hey you! FANZ has been traveling up a storm. One country down, two more to go! Our last day in Fiji we went to a white sand beach. Some of the boys rented surfboards and "attempted" to take on the gnarly waves. The beach was really nice and secluded (...the 7th best beach in the world apparently) We were delayed at the Fijian airport for quite a while, but the flight over to New Zealand was really nice. The view flying in was breathtaking, greeneverywhere and gorgeous rolling hills. Right now we're staying in a hostel in the center of Auckland. The hostel is really nice... with a lounge, clean showers (that aren't buckets!!), and a kitchen. We are all feeling a huge culture shock, coming from a very underdeveloped country to a very vibrant fastpaced city.
The other night Gaby and I cooked everyone pasta and we went to a comedy club. There were 10 comedians and they were all hysterical, everyone had a great time. Auckland is amazing, everyone has said at least once that they want to move here. We are sort of running around the city like chickens without heads. I'm speaking for all the girls when I say it's a good thing we are leaving Auckland tomorrow, because we have spent way too much money shopping. The shopping here is great, no wonder everyone in New Zealand is so stylish. Last night Amanda took us up to the top of the sky tower (the tallest structure in the south pacific) and it was ridiculous. It was a great view of the city. Tomorrow we leave Auckland and are headed to the Edmund Hilary outdoor center. Everyone is very excited. It should be fun (and very cold). Hope all is well back home. We're crossing our fingers for the US economy...but on the bright side...the US dollar is really strong here in New Zealand!
