patches Posted May 4, 2016 Share Unfortunately I haven't ridden my bike much. I need to change that before winter sets in.This road trip though will be bike-less. Just myself and a work mate. He's from the UK and has only been here about 5 months, so we're both keen to adventure a bit. intern, hayleyearth and Wayne Potgieter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayleyearth Posted May 5, 2016 Share A Lot of markets happening it seems.... http://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2016/howick-village-market/auckland/howick?utm_medium=rss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niterider Posted May 5, 2016 Share A Lot of markets happening it seems.... http://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2016/howick-village-market/auckland/howick?utm_medium=rss Howick market is a weekly fruit & veg market. Cheaper than the supermarket. There is also a nice (but small) farmer's market out at Clevedon. And a rather pathetic "French" market near where I stay at Pine Harbour. The nicest market around is up at Matakana, but you're likely to do that on a weekend away, unless you live on the North Shore. hayleyearth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolipoli Posted May 6, 2016 Share Just finished my first week at my new NZ job - I think I will be just fine. Finding a rental house that suits both my wife and I is another story though...This definitely seems to be on the ugly side of NZ.

hayleyearth Posted May 9, 2016 Share Flights booked. Arrival 30 May 21:20 Auckland, (Auckland International) Accommodation for the 1st month at Quest Highbrook (I choose that due to the walking distance from work = more time to do other things at 1st..........the other apartments would probably have been more 'livable' but was a bit further from work and the places they suggested in town, well was in town = traffic nightmare I guess) The biggest thing I am wondering about though..........which tyres are the okes running there on the trail bikes at this moment...hahahaha Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, gummibear and niterider 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
