For the fourth and last time we went to Auckland. Just arrived in the city, we went out to celebrate with friends that Emilia had met in Kerikeri. The party tour was organized specifically for backpackers. We went from club to club, each one better than the other. 😍🍻🕺🏼
The following days, we chilled at Whatipu Beach and enjoyed the beautiful weather. When we came back from shopping on Saturday, all the emergency services were at the campsite. A helicopter was circling overhead - we had no idea what was going on. In the evening, we found out that a teenager had drowned due to the strong currents and they were still searching for him with thermal cameras. It was a really strange feeling to spend the night in such a place. However, the West Coast of New Zealand is notorious for its currents and subsequent deaths, so it's better not to go swimming.
The last few days in Auckland, we rented a house with friends from our old class to celebrate New Year's Eve together. The days were really cool and relaxed. In New Zealand, we were among the first to welcome the new year 2019. 🎉🙋🏼♂️ But it was kind of strange to know that the others wouldn't celebrate for another 12 hours. When we spoke with friends from Germany the next day, it was already noon for us - just surreal. 🤦🏼♂️😅
