Our purported reason for going to Auckland was to watch a college rugby match.

After checking into the youth hostel, we met up with someone's friend, who took us to his apartment building, a really cool converted train station. These girls dispatched a whole bottle of rum, which everyone else decided was definately not good for them.

The next day, Jen and I stayed in the city while everyone else went to watch birds. I saw birds too.

We ate lunch in a minimall, which was cool to look at, but as we were taking photos, a guy came over and said, "Someone jumped off that walkway you're photographing just last week. I couldn't resist telling you." Thanks, dude.
