Another night of little sleep. As soon as I went into this dorm, a small 4-bed with creaky bunks, I knew it would be noisy. I just didn't realise how noisy it would be. The room overlooked a nightclub and with the smoking ban here in NZ we listened to drunken clubber all night. Some time after midnight a Jap lad came into the room with some bottles of beer a proceeded to drink them in the room. He didn't have a bottle opener and spent an age trying to open them. I wanted to punch his lights out yet I lay there and said nothing, merely becoming more annoyed. In the morning he got a frosty reception from the rest of us. I hate hostels.
I intended visiting Rangitoto today. Its a volcanoe out in Auckland harbour. I went down to the ferry terminal only to find out that the ferry was cancelled due to the weather conditions. It was a dull blustery morning in the city centre but the wind was a lot stronger out in the bay. The water was churning with spray being whipped off the tops of white-tipped waves. Rain was on the way. I decide to take a look in the nearby maritime museum. When I came out 90 mins later the rain had started and was down for the day. As a result the last day in Auckland was low key. I bought a guide to southeast Asia and started planning for the next leg of the trip
