Woke at 9am, quite tired! Scrambled eggs for breakfast. Then off to the supermarket on the far side of town. US$ 55 worth of camera film, toiletries and beans and bagels for lunch later we headed back. For some reason the 10 minutes bus ride took us more like 30 minutes. We jumped off on the way back on K'Rd (Karangahape Road -- you can see why they call it the K'Rd -- which boasts a bohemian collection of shops, clubs, strip joints and a large outdoor shop where we were headed). Sadly no dive computers. We trudged back to the hostel where we did lunch.
A good solid stint at the terminal (I got about 3 days typed up in 7 hours) and we headed off for tea at 9pm. We ended up in a fast food noodle joint for some mild chilli chicken (with "chilli saurce").
Back to our friendly cafe and another four hour stint 'til 2 in the morning. Tonight the guard was outside [the hostel] so it required less effort to get in. I took the opportunity for a 2am shave.
