Auckland and the Sky Tower

We spent a day in the city of Auckland, walking around in the sunshine, browsing through the shops, re-telling stories over cups of freshly brewed coffee and home baked Fejoia & Ginger muffins - oh, it's a hard life! It was 23 degrees outside yet it's supposed to be autumn, we were walking around in T-shirts and enjoying the sun...

We also went to the Sky Tower, a magnificient structure which is the tallest in the southern hemisphere and a striking feature of the Auckland skyline. Here are a few photos of the Sky Tower from a distance and also looking up from below. Josh loved standing against the tall panes of glass to look out over Auckland spread out far below. Looking down through glass panels in the floor at the traffic, the buses and lorries look quite small, as do the tops of the skyscrapers!!
