READ POSTCARDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Here are some postcards from travellers who have already been on a Great Escapade with us - you might get some ideas!

Auckland

Dear Great Escapades

Wow! We've finally reached the end of our trip here in Auckland. Thanks to you lot for helping to arrange all this.

We soon discovered why Auckland is known as the City of Sails, as it lies between two harbours and is completely surrounded by water. Everyone has a yacht, and we've been out on a couple. We also visited the city's famous Harbour Bridge; in fact more than visited - we jumped off it on bungees.

The rest of the time we've spent a little less energetically though, eating in the restaurants of Ponsonby Road and trying local wines on a tour of the vineyards.

Thanks again for all your help
