Well me and my boyfriend cody set on a journey to auckland 5 weeks ago so i could see my mum and little brothers and sisters. We got the bus 2 Christurch which took 5 hours and we stayed there for a week then we got the train to Picton which felt like forever but the scenery was awesome untill i saw a dead lamb which was pretty sad. We then got the ferry across to Wellington which took 3 hours I think and in Wellington we took ages trying to find Mac Donalds and by the time we did i was pretty pissed of and tired so we went to look for somewhere to sleep for a while but there was no where so we walked around and found another Mac Donalds and we were just innocently sitting out side waiting for it to open when the cops came and asked us what we were doing and they thought we were run aways which we weren't so the left and then in the morning we went looking for a computer shop so we could book the bus to Auckland. Once we found where to book the tickets we went and got some more smokes and went walking around to try and find the bus stop... I was getting more frustrated by then thinking that we were going to miss the bus but we didn't. The bus took 12 hours to get up to Auckland, stoping at different places for breaks and to drop people off at where they were going . When we finally got to Auckland my nana picked me and Cody up and took us to my mums which we stayed at for 4 weeks .
