Re: AKL Dinner 7 March 2015 [Last Spot taken]

I just picked up NZ$300.00 which cost me a AUD$300.47 so I'm fine with that.
200 will cover dinner, the balance for taxi fares and what not.

Now just need to go back through the thread to remind me what time we meet.

$300 might just cover the taxis ... they aren't cheap ...

I have used it before...it is not too bad...great if you are staying at the HIlton as the final stop at the wharf is only a 5-10 min walk away. Auckland Airport to City Bus Service | Airbus Express

It is quick and efficient and reasonable value if you are going to central AKL.

I have zero NZD with me. Can one survive without cash? If not, should I wait till I get there or exchange some now?

I have taken NZ$250 with me for my last 4 overnight trips to AKL. I still have it all !! Cards are not a problem and if you have to exchange A$'s you can do it at most large hotels (at not very attractive rates) on the weekend.

I am not sure if it has ever been specified, so let us say 7 for 7.30.

Don't forget about Uber everyone. Especially if you're prepared to share. This fare was over the Christmas period. You may very well be picked up in a taxi at half the price.

Breakfast was very nice. I'm looking forward to lunch. Two out of four Champagnes sampled so far.
