Time here: 10:36 am
hey ya,
well i'll get the moaning and crap out of the way to start with; first day we went down into the town centre and it pissed it down. Just bit like a typical big inner city, large high rise bulidings and same old shops bit scruffy too. the sky tower is quite impressive though that is the tallest thing you can seen in the picture. Also found the bar that we were told about, the shakespeares tavern, it brews it's own ale, so we got ourselves $20 of that. Good stuff!! We've also decided to try n eat healthy so bought some tofu in market, there's lot's of eastern infeunces here. slight prob when the juices of tofu went over everything in bag including cameras. We desperately tried to fight having jet lag by stayin awake till late as poss in evening, we managed to make it till bout half eight which wasn't too bad.
Yesterday we visited the sorta surburbs of the city, Parnell which is just round the corner from where we're stayin, it's very pretty lot's of little Art Galleries and Coffee shops, lot's of character, sam dragged me in all galleries, but i didn't really mind. Then onto newmarket for a bitta retail therapy, found a wicked shop "Supre" bit like h&m, bright funky clotes. delicious lunch for only $10 ...gotta go be back later...hey again well not great deal more to see in Auckland, but we went for a wander and stumbled upon the Museum, which was pretty impressive and cheap, lots of maori history and artifacts, brilliant jewellery and clothes. We also went up the sky tower at night, a bit higher than the eiffel tower. The lights and harbour looked reallly pretty and was only $18 wit discount....well thats it from auckland for bit headed up north now ...but maybe more cos gotta go back there...
