Lots to do in Auckland

These are some of the things we did in Auckland, in between my work assignment.

This is Goat Island Marine Park where fish swim between your legs in the water. I don't have an underwater camera so cannot see the fish but trust me they are there. Big, small, long, short, blue, green...all shapes, sizes and colours were there.

This is a typical new Zealand beach. Even in Auckland, beaches are not crowded. In Asian terms, this would be referred to as a deserted beach.

We went for a bush walk was at the Kaitakere Forest Ranges where the largest Kauri trees can be seen. The oldest was over 1,000 years old with a 13 metre waistline. Giants of the forest as they are called.

How could we complete a visit to Ackland without a visit to Sky Tower?

No bungy jump for us. Even watching people jumping off makes one's heart skip a beat.

Again, a New Zealand holiday would not be complete without a Maori performance.

And one from a neighbouring Polynesian island.
