Looking for a photo log instead? Dec 27th: After finally enduring our last flight leg of the day, we catch the shuttle into town and check in at Backpacker's Downtown Lodge (what a dump).

Our first 2 floor airplane, amazing meal, TV for each sit (with movies on demand and video games) and they even provide one time use toothbrush and toothpaste for each passenger. Definitely flying with Qantas again. Stayed in B&B in center of Auckland that looked l...
