first day in new zealand

i don't know how, but eventually i did get out of bed this morning. well, let's say lunchtime. staying awake in the night is no problem but getting up has to be trained still. but one day i will get used to the time difference...
this afternoon i made some shopping, like a sim card for my cell phone, new shoe laces and an adapter for my electric equipment. and after that i tested the new zealand beer. and, well, its good and much, much, much of it! you buy it in jugs containing 0.75 liters, and after i had two of these there were some more glasses (they fortunatelly only have something like 300ml each). but still, afterwards i was glad to have a driver (although he was as pissed as me). and lucky at home there was this good old johnny walker waiting for us. welcome to new zealand from pams nice husband greg (no, not me, the other greg...)
and now, hick, i go to bed. perhaps i see another pub tomorrow? or will there be more than pubs to be discovered here in auckland? let's find out
greg
p.s.: and, i promise, tomorrow i will post some pictures.
