But we also have a lot of friends in Auckland and heard about a cool fari that was happening on Cross Street (near K Road) so we ended up doing a few things other than just seeing Sonic Youth.
My friend Charlotte picked us up from the airport - but she unfortunatly didn't have much time to hang out so we ended up chatting on the way into town and she had to head off to do something else.
Charlotte dropped us a K Road, so we were able to eat and drop ourselves off at the icky backpackers (don't ever stay at the Columbia - it's icky and unclean!).
After dropping our stuff off we headed off to Cross Street which is near K Road as they had a fair on which was really cool - it also included a craft market so we got a chance to look at all sorts of crafty things. There seems to be a lot more fimo badges than usual though and some of them were quite familar designs...hummm....
Anyways - I bought myself a really cool 2 headed giraffee necklace at the markets (which was a little strange because I normally buy softies at markets these days!)
Below are some photos from the fair - must have been one of the coolest fairs I have even been to.
After hanging out with the guys I went and met up with Rich's sister, brother in law and nephew and went out to their place which was near the Bruce Mason Centre in Papakura so we managed to get a lift out there - transport problem number 1 solved.
We hung about for a while - had some dinner went for a beach walk and then headed over to the gig.
So that was my weekend in Auckland - in conclusion - Fair, Dead Sonic Youth, catching up with friends and Dead C all awesome. Public transport and backpackers - very LAME!
