It turns out that Auckland could easily be the capital of New Zealand - it’s a mistake made frequently. In fact, I’ve read up on the details, and it was the capital for 25 years in the 19th century. I have also travelled to a small town called Russell in the quiet north of the country (the ‘Bay of Islands’). And that was the original capital, before anyone had bothered to venture any further south. How things change!

Flying to Fiji tomorrow.
