Auckland and surrounding area Part Duex March 16th, 2009
Tomorrow I leave for Noumea, and in case you haven't located it, here is a link:
I spent a relaxing few days back in Auckland, carbo-loading and making sure I have the right equipment for New Caledonia. I am sure I don't; I don't know a thing about the place but I do have a Lonely Planet guide and a mosquito net. That should be enough!
We had a nice drive along the coast near Auckland, and ate the best fish and chips in NZ! The best part was just being with friends and spending a relaxing day not thinking about much. I watched an amazing video about a potter-railroad builder www.drivingcreekrailway.co.nz which blew me away! Also, I checked out a few videos on motorcycle touring...hmmm

The Motorcycle Books and Movies are by Gareth & Jo Morgan. Last trip was to Antartica, next Artic. They have already done the Australian outback, the Silk Route from Europe to China, Africa, USA - just goes on. They have raised a lot of money for charties and given away millions of there own. Books are are lot more prosaic and thought provoking than the "Long way round" "Long way down" series by Charlie Borman etc that are big on the TV.
Cheers
