Day 35, Wednesday, February 15, 2006 It’s just a short drive from Papakura to Auckland. We checked into our hotel and dropped off our car. We spent the afternoon strolling the streets and harbour area. I had a Hokey Pokey gelato (now that’s different) and this evening we had supper at the Waterfront Café, our favourite seafood spot here.
New Zealand has been everything that everyone has said it was and more. Magnificent scenery, excellent food, pleasant weather and best of all genuinely friendly people, and abundant sheep. Put New Zealand on your list of places to visit.

As we come to the end of our stay in New Zealand, I want to say a special word of thanks to all the hosts of the Bed and Breakfast Homestays who made us feel so royally welcome in their homes and who were unfailingly helpful and considerate in their efforts so see that we enjoyed our holiday here. If anyone is considering an NZ holiday, I can most heartily recommend that they make use of the B&B resources here. In Papakura, Rotorua, Napier, Wellington, Westport, Hokitika, Arrowtown and Akaroa, we came away feeling that we had made valuable friends in the places we stayed. I will put the e-mail addresses of the B&B’s we stayed at, and hope that others will be able to enjoy the same friendliness and hospitality that we so appreciated.
