An early start today and a drive up to Auckland this morning. We arrived in Auckland at midday and had a short tour around the city before booking into our Hotel at Sky City. Our hotel sits at the base of the famous Sky Tower, the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere, from which you can do a controlled bungy jump or walk around the rim of the tower's platform. Alternatively you can just eat in the rotating restaurant at the top. Saboohi and I went down to the harbour to catch a ferry across to Devonport Dockyard (yes they have a naval base here too called Devenport!). In Devonport we climbed to the top Mount Victoria and had a fantastic 360 degree view of the city and the coast line – it must the best view there is in Auckland. We then had fish and chips sitting by the sea and were surrounded by gulls. This is where Saboohi took a fabulous photograph of the gulls catching chips that we had thrown up for them -tourists eh? (see photo attached).
