I find myself somewhat dissapointed after my first 24 hours in New Zealand due to the fact that I have yet to see a sheep in any way shape or form. I’m of course kidding, I don’t see how a sheep could be anywhere in the vicinity of Auckland seeing as it’s population is 1.3million (roughly the population of Oahu.)
A lot of people ask me what kind of food is in New Zealand, I think the answer to that is anything south-east asian. I find a lot of kebab shops along with Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese. Another popular thing would be fish and chips (British influence) but have yet to have some, though I think i’ll try it for lunch sometime soon.
For whatever reason i’m pretty anxious to get on the road again as it feels like it’s been too long since riding for any time in the saddle. Though I’ll have to wait until mid next week as I’ve ordered the leather conditioner that goes with the saddle that I put on the bike. From here I expect to head east until I hit the coast then take my way down to Wellington, hopefully I’ll be able to find a wwoof’ing opportunity or perhaps a warmshower opportunity.
Anyway today ended up just being me walking around Auckland all day taking care of errands, I got a copy of Peddlers Paradise which is the maps i’ll be using for my trip, grocery shopping to get my bagels and peanut butter, wrench for my saddle. So i’m set to get going once I get that leather conditioner.
