We travelled back to New Zealand after Niue for a three day layover, waiting for our flight to Fiji and Tuvalu. We stayed at the President Hotel in Auckland CBD. It wasn’t the flashiest, and I do remember having to go through the fire stairwell to get to my room (the room did have a kitchenette with a microwave and sink, which was nice).
I was hoping to tour around a bit, maybe go to Coromandel for the day, but by that time I was feeling awful. My cold was raging, and my ear was blocked. So I basically stayed in my hotel room all three days, doing nothing other than going out for meals and seeing the doctor (and watching The Doctor, that is Doctor Who episodes). I did walk around Auckland a little, but other than that, it was a massive bust.
I did come up with an idea for a story one night. I actually had a go at writing it for Nanowritemo (a November challenge where you are to write a novel). It’s somewhere, and needs significant proofreading, but I’m wondering if I should put it out there somewhere. Maybe one day.
Anyway, really nothing else happened those three days other than rest and trying to recover.
