Devonport, NZ style

Tuesday we took a ferry to Devonport, a small suburb of Auckland. We had sushi for lunch [finally. missing it too much] and walked up this 'hill that you should check out.' It was a treacherous 10 minute stroll to the top of it, to get a view of a small, not-too-exciting suburb. After we decided to get lost on the little island and ended up walking around the entirety of it, from one not too nice beach to another not too nice beach, until we were back home. Dinner was paprika with a little bit of cabbage, onion, and pasta [sorry jacob] and feeling feverish I went to bed early.

On Wednesday I woke up after 13 hours of sleep and we walked into an asian market to look at all the weird interesting things they had for sale. Then we wandered down the biggest highway I had seen in ages and hung around in a park and rose garden while absorbing the sun on this hot day. As expected, I got a bit of a sunburn, but it was all good.

On our way back home we stopped in indian spice city to pick up the necessary ingredients for our night's desire to make chicken tikka masala. Though we were both confused about what we were buying and couldn't tell the difference between any of the mysterious powders in large containers, the nice indian man working there merely had to smell the little baggies we presented him with to know what we were buying and ring us up. Dinner was a major success, even if I did cook the whole thing myself, and that made for chicken tikka masala 1 of 3 for the past two weeks.

At night we went up to another flat and drank there for a bit, turning 'The Biggest Loser' into a drinking game, by each guessing how much weight they would've lost at the weigh in, and drinking how every much off we were, or if correct, giving out 5 drinks. Moose Knuckle was returned to and that ended our nights.

On Thursday We went to the market on campus and then headed towards the bus that I'd be taking to Rotorua. On the way we stopped at Moustache, which is a cookie establishment that we had been hearing about and I got a nutella cookie which was awesome.. then off to Rotorua!
