After a long 24 hours in a metal tube we have arrived! It is a very strange experience to leave somewhere entering the grip of winter for a place where the flowers are out in force and the sun will burn!
The flights were fairly uneventful and it was interesting to travel on the A380, which left us with a good deal more space and plenty of movies to choose from. Add to this the fact the food wasn't bad for plane food and it was a fairly painless experience! We even got to enjoy pancakes at Dubai airport, although it was 3am UK time so that truly messed our body clocks around!
The hotel is very nice, right by the harbour side area with lots of bars and restaurants. There's even one of the America's cup yachts which you can go on for a cruise around the Bay.
After washing off 24 hours of plane, we headed out for our first meal where we sat and watched some of the local small ferries coming in. We both agree that Auckland is a bit like Bristol in it's atmosphere. Well, at first glance it is!
By the end of the meal the last day was truly catching up with us and we called it a night, ready for a busy day walking around Auckland tomorrow!
