Another marathon journey.  Two long flights with 12 hours in Hong Kong.  I spent most of the time in the Cathay lounge with lots of dumplings and noodles.  Then I moved to the Qantas lounge.

March 25-27 - Auckland, New Zealand

It was a very short stay in Auckland but I've been here a few times in the past.  The Asian food was fantastic, especially with a good bottle of NZ wine.  I took a ferry to Wiekeki Island and walked to town from the dock.  I am now convinced I have allergies since for seven weeks I had no problems and all of a sudden I was congested.  The following day everything was back to normal.

There were no purchases in Auckland, everything was quite expensive.
