Roadtrippin' Part 4

Sunday:
  • This marked the end of our trip.  We drove down to Auckland (a 5 hour drive South), and stopped at L&L.  Yes, the same L&L we all know and love.  It was located in South Auckland, which is known for it's intense population of Samoans and Tongans.  The L&L was nicely built, and probably the biggest one we've ever seen.  The menu was the same, but the prices weren't.  The plate lunches were all above $13, so Logan and I settled for a spam musubi.  It tasted great.  Reminded us of home.  (By the way, I've been making a list of all the foods I want to eat as soon as I get home.) 

  • We then headed back to our friend's apartment, dropped off all our bags, and then returned our camper.  When we got back to her apt, we all went to get some gellatto.  It was a sunny day, so we ate our ice cream at the park.  That night we went to the Fiji, Laga Savea, Kiwini, and Siaosi concert at one of the bars in Auckland.  It was PACKED with Tongans and Samoans.  Logan's football coach (here in NZ) is their producer, so we got in free!  It definitely wasn't the best concert I've been to, but they definitely pleased their targetted audience.  75% of the songs they played were in Tongan or Samoan!
