Think we have both fallen in love with New Zealand already! And we have only been here a few days! The scenery is just fabulous! Very green and hilly and the landscapes we have seen so far remind us very much of the Mediterranean. We keep having to pinch ourselves to believe that we are really here, not to mention being lucky enough to be able to do this trip! Apparently a certain Mr David Beckham arri
ved in Auckland the same day as us and is still here, but we haven't bumped into him yet! Took a wander down to Auckland Harbour yesterday and found ourselves booking on a Harb
our Cruise (that also included a free trip to Devonport Island at another time of your own choice!) It was a leisurely hour & a half trip around the nearby islands and also included a free cup of tea and a muffin! Not bad at all! Took a trip up to the top of the Sky Tower on Friday evening to see the sights from up there, but decided not to do the (so called) exhilarating skyjump from the top of it!!! Thought the pedestrians below could do without the sight of our backsides plummeting at high speed from up above! Then today, wit
h even Connie able to keep her sea legs on the smooth harbour waters, we took to the sea again to visit Waiheke Island! Am sure my photos don't really show it in all its glory but there were the most beautiful views and bays around every corner! It seems
to be a place where the very rich head for now as a lot of the properties were in the millions of dollars! We took a bus tour around the island to see how the other half live(!) and then, after a relaxing lunch, took a short walk back to the wharf to catch the ferry back to Auckland! Not a bad way to spend a Sunday really!
