Earnest crosses the International Dateline on New Zealand trip
Earnest reports from Auckland as his travels reach the dateline, noting 50 degree weather, fog, and a left-hand driving system. He describes Auckland on a hilly isthmus with 1.5 million people, 20 to 25 percent Asian residents, and visits Auckland Zoo hoping to see kiwis while remarking on Sky Tower views and current jet lag. His weekly Telegram dispatches will document sights, sounds, and tastes from each country.
