Auckland continued to be very special and beautiful. Friday we spent getting matt settled in, finding somewhere for him to buy things cheap, getting his bank account sorted and a NZ sim card...we were struck by just how frienly people were, everyone wanted to have a chat and find out more about us and our lives in England, it was a beautiful friendly city, surprisingly small in comparison to the UK and yet so similar to the UK in so many ways, it was a wonderful place to recoperate and sp
end some time together :)We decided to go up the Sky Tower on the Friday afternoon and bought Sun&Star tickets which meant we could go back to see it at evening. The pictures really don't do it justice, the views were stunning, and you could see so far beacuse of Aucklands low skyline. There was so watch and then city and then park that it made the most beautiful scene.
We found a great cafe for breakfast which we ate at on both Friday and Saturday - I had french toast with syrup, bacon and grilled banana nomnomnom :) so yummy! Sushi is very popular in auckland - with almost every other cafe selling sushi (although we THINK sushi might be cafe in maori - even so there was still a lot of sushi). The last evening was beautiful in the sky tower, watching the flickering lights of Auckland over a glass of New Zealand wine...a lovely beginning to our new adventures.
And the next morning, Brisbane was calling my name....
