A Visit up the Skytower is must when you visit Auckland. Fortunately the morning rain cleared for me and the views from the tower were spectacular as I could see for kilometres.
We decided to do a Harbour Cruise which was a great decision as the harbour really is quite beautiful. You may feel seasick with these as the boat was a little rocky and I haven't straightened the photos.
This was Rangitoto Island which is a dormant volcano. We just stopped for 10 minutes but tours of the island can be made by 4 wheel drive.
Imagine my excitement when a pod of whales came swimming around the boat. Even the boat crew was totally amazed.
No, we didn't stay here.
These are taken from the top of the Skytower. What a view!
These windows were in the actual floor . Creepy.
We also popped over by ferry to a lovely place called Devonport. This was the decorated railing on the wharf.
No, not ours.
These were taken just outside Auckland.
