In my first mediation I managed to inadvertently trip the "panic" button and had persons bursting through the door to my rescue!! Being geographically challenged I was often confused as to my actual whereabouts and on one occasion ended up in a secure section of the 10th Floor rather than the mediation suite on the 8th - don't ask!!!
I politely declined an offer to go race sailing on the Auckland Harbour being firmly of the view that if God had intended us to go on the water he would have given us webbed feet!! I was subsequently relieved to learn it had blown quite hard creating difficult conditions (a good decision making process!!).
I discovered early in the week the best coffee was available from Sheinkin - 3 Lorne Street (one back from Queen Street) which utilises Allpresss beans in its own special blend. I was so moved I actually purchased some beans to bring home. I was amazed at the proliferation of Subways, Burger Kings and Esquires Coffee Houses in the central city and the fact there are huge numbers of different food options available in the CBD.
In a purification process I refrained from all forms of alcohol for 4.5 days and ate in a healthy manner preparing my own meals based around salads I have therefore returned feeling very virtuous (apart from the popcorn & potato chips)!!
