As you can see, Auckland does shipping. There is a pretty big container yard here and you bet it's busy.

Well, I got sorta distracted from the GPS for a moment and went loco. After winding down this road into the unknowns of an industrial estate, I captured this rare image of a burned out cop car that had been placed ontop of a 20ft offshore container by forklift.

The next morning, I stopped at a shop for some crisps and stuff, but like, it is raining a bit here. The temp is fine compared to UK and the scenery for an International city type place is pretty good.

Basically, if you are stupid enough to spend $150+ a night you can have a view like this in one of the private Quest apartments in the city centre. I did, and one thing... Their internet don't work. Everywhere is supposed to be wireless nowadays and the deal with this room is that the wireless was all set up. B*s*a*** I hate being conned like that. Make note, Quest aparetments on Queen Street Auckland wireless internet don't work...

OK, right normally I don't run round photographing urinals, like some kind of pisshouse inspector, but after spending a night in the car, I was bursting... The first public toilets I came to was in an area called Blockhouse Bay. Just before I walked in, a grim faced Pakistani walked out of the bog... This is what I had to face. Well, never mind. Actually most of the toilets are OK, at least they got public toilets here, some places don't.
See like, when you get off the plane into a city, esp. at night. Just do yourself a favour and get a gps with the car. You'll still get lost, but at least you'll know exactly where you are lost... Auckland is nails to navigate even with the gps. Surely there's some kind of academic qualification you can obtain in these things.

Heyo, this is my sisters cat Simba. Often I'd spend most of the day sitting near it out in Townsville. Look at it's face, ahahaha.
