Heading home

After 3 days in Auckland, I am sitting in the hotel lounge waiting for the cab to arrive. I can't wait to be back home. NZ has been a wonderful and beautiful country. Lots of shopping - my 1 luggage and 1 carry-on has morphed to luggage, extra bag, plus shoes bag, plus my Burberry coat and carry on with my purse....oops.

Such an amazing energy around the city, because of a big rugby match between the NZ team "All Blacks" vs South African team "the Boks" at Eden Park's stadium. As I was taking a train from Newmarket to Britomart the city transfort, thongs of people in blacks jacket were descending the transport system heading to the Eden park's direction.

what a masculine and rough sports. The images evoke primitive but also original spirit of sport.

Hello I'm in New Zealand! It's rare that I get to a new country these days, so I'm totally excited to be here. I'm staying at Hilton Princes Wharf, what a wonderful property that is located just ahead of a Quay. Already checked out the touristy Queens Street, with dinner at Fort Lane a steak house recommended by the hotel concierge.

what's lacking on the Internet is the list of "What's good to Shop in NZ":
> Manuka Honey - only produced in NZ from Manuka flowers
> Icebreaker - Merino wool product? maybe coz this week there is super special 30% discount off.
> Lush product - found them cheaper than in USA and Australia
> What else?
