We started off today by visiting The Lost Springs, a local spa that had multiple thermal pools that felt like giant hot tubs. It was a cool morning so the pools were a real nice way to get warm and relax. The owner of the place talked to us about how his trips to America inspired him to make a place where adults can come and be adults. He spent over twenty years making the place and it turned out beautiful.
From the thermal pools we began our trek back to Auckland so that we could fly to Brisbane at night. On the way we stopped at a mall for lunch and to do some last minute NZ shopping. A bunch of the guys scored some deals on some tank tops which have become quite the popular choice of attire for the trip. The freedom and style that tanks provide is just hard to beat. I also snagged a good deal on a new fleece that I will add to my collection of jackets.
We finally arrived at the airport a couple of hours before our flight and everyone got checked in and through security with no issues. I like flying with a group of people despite certain complications and delays that sometime happen. It was fun to be sitting next to your friends and people you knew. I tried to do some blogging on the plane but instead fell asleep for most of the trip. The flight was a little over three hours and before we knew it we were back on another bus traveling to our nights accommodation. With a three hour time change most of the group was pretty tired so we all just hung out and went to bed early.
Tomorrow we're headed to the Australian zoo where we're hoping to see some koalas and kangaroos. In a couple of days we'll be heading to Lady Elliot island which I absolutely cannot wait for.
