Halloween...

So after a nap - we got ready for Halloween - little dresses at the ready!

Went to Skycity for dinner first and got a message from Better Looking Tom saying that the carpark staff were not drinking and at AA playing connect four. We were like "wtf? omg this food is amazing" and that was it... but as we headed past carpark after dinner on the way to our hotel... the carpark was closed! Damn!

Anyways we went back to the hotel to add our bunny ears and tailand got ready to head out.... ran into the hotel porter who said he'd come party with us and then got into the street and realised we had no idea where to go to find a party! We decidedto just head to Andrew Andrew coz we had been there before and it was close, and we turn up and there is the carpark guys playing Connect Four.... felt a bit silly for thinking that the entire staff of a bar were attending an alcoholics anonymous meeting.

Anyways, it was a tiny bit awkward - Chrissy and Katie, dressed in tiny little dresses, playboy bunny ears and a big fluffy tail (left the cuffs and bowties at the hotel - luckily or unluckily - depends how you wanna look at it! ) crashing a staff party where almost everyone is in jeans and a tee. Felt overdressed (and underclothed). Anyways so we warmed up with a few games of Connect 4 - which neither Chrissy and I are very excellent at - which turned into extreme connect 4 - only 3 seconds to make a move. After that we went for a walk through the harbour and ended up at a dingy pub, but the disgusting old man stares got to much so we headed back to AA for like, one more drink, before going back to the hotel.

One more drink turned into a lot more drinks and the most interesting game of 21 I have played ... Very random way to spend Halloween... but it was crazy fun and quiet and loud all at the same time .. and we had a blast.

This morning I tried my hardest to be super quiet and not wake Chrissy! Which would have been super great if the stupid hotel had not tried to do housekeeping at 9 in the morning... and they kept coming back - we had the safety chain and the privacy please tag all up and everything! Grrr.... Anyway after late checkout we finally headed to skytower to do the typical tourist stuff.

Skytower = awesome! Auckland is absolutely beautiful - i am sad to say goodbye tonight! We went up and did both viewing decks - the highest one was 220 metres - we lost our stomachs on the way up! Saw a guy bungy off and am having second thoughts about my desire to skydive! Might stick with the original plan of being a chicken! After that we did a bit more tacky tourist shopping - both getting a tomato shaped tomato sauce bottle - which are all the rage in NZ. Everywhere has themand they are super cute!

We also headed up for a game of roulette so we could get a souveneir poker chip. Did not get very lucky on the roulette table but it was fun and we didnt gamble much money - felt poor placing single bets and cashing in $20 notes when everyone else had hundreds!

After our gambling we headed off for more shopping - stopped by Timezone and took some pretty awesome photos in a photo booth with adlib wind!

And now - we are just killing time before our flight back to Christchurch. I have a terrible feeling this flight is going to be even worse than yesterdays -

only 2 more sleeps ion New Zealand :(
