NZ - North Island trip

The vacation was originally planned to happen in December, last year. I did not think that air tickets to Auckland was like hotcakes, and waited till I settled accomodation before approaching the airline. And to my disappointment, was told the flights I'm looking at were fully booked. With the outlook of getting seats on the waitlist not too good, I decided to postphone it to April which will coincide with the hot-air balloon festival over there. That definitely put back some excitement over the delay.

We stayed in Hamilton for three nights, at A&A Countrystay.
