After a REALLY long plane ride we finally made it to Auckland! As it to happens this was the first night of a week long city celabration that was kicked off by a free firework show. K and I spent the day just walking around the city and seeing the sights including Kelly Tarton's underwater museum and the park in the middle of the city. I got some really good pics (the one of the blowfish had me laughing for hours,) but the thing about Auckland is.....it's just another city albeit one that is surrounded by volcanoes! Two days was enough for me and I decided to join the Kiwi Express that took me north to the Bay of Islands.
