Bear with me:
The host, Roy, was as great as can be.
I came to Auckland to adjust to the timezone before a week of work. I expected to be out a lot but couldn’t get enough rest at night hours to move during the day.
When you arrive and realize that, even though the photos show it, that your room door is clear glass with non-sound proof window slates leading into the common area, it’s a bit jarring.
You can exhale a bit when you know you have shades to cover the glass.
Just pack ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. Jet lag takes no mercy on light sleepers 😆
