Today I watched a football game in Auckland. Oly-White VS Chelsea FC. I really enjoy watching football and I always scream when they score, clap my hands and yell at the judge when he does something wrong. New Zealand (Oly-White) won and that was I was hoping for! They won with 3-2 and when they won, their national anthem was played and everyone sang. It was so beautiful and even though I'd never heard the song before, I started to sing, haha! I sat next to a cute guy at the game and he started to laugh at me when I sang and when I saw him laugh - I started laughing to! He was very kind and bought me an ice cream and a Coca-Cola. To be honest, I don't like Cola, but he was so kind to me that I didn't want to complain. He was from New Zealand and was 19 years old. He added me on Facebook so now we can talk even when I go back to Sweden.

After the game I walked to a nearby restaurant and ate pizza. I met a Swedish couple there and we started talking and took a drink together at a pub after we had eaten. They were so kind and funny and I hope I will meet them again sometime!    

Now I'm at Arlanda, waiting to see the Lufthansa plane arrive so I can board. I'm longing for the flight to take off. It's going to be boring to fly for 29(!!!) hours, but we'll stop twice and I guess I'm going to sleep most of the time so it will be OK. I can't wait to get there! When I arrive in Auckland there will be a bus waiting for me (and other people) to take us to the hotel so we can check in. After that I think I'm going to look around in the city before I eat dinner at any fancy restaurant. 

Here are some pictures of my hotel in Auckland where I will be staying the first days. 

It looks really cozy, don't you think?!

I have always had a dream that one day I will go to New Zealand and explore the country. When I was a child my grandparents went on a trip to New Zealand and back then I didn't know so much about the country, but when they started showing pictures of their hotel, the beaches and the people that lived there - I fell in love! It looked so cozy and everything was so beautiful! I've decided that I'm going to start my trip in Auckland and live at a hotel there for a few days and after that I'm going to the Hobbit village near Matamata on the North Island. I'm going to buy tickets for a tour right when I get to  Matamata.

Facts about New Zealand:

• About 4 393 500 people live in New Zealand

• The biggest city is Auckland, but the capital of New Zealand is Wellington

• The country have mountains covered in snow, rain forests and deserts. You can compare New Zealand with Chile, Norway and Canada together if you just look at the nature

• Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings were recorded in New Zealand

• New Zealand is run by Queen Elizabeth II  

Now I'm going to the Arlanda. Wish me luck!!!
