Auckland, New Zealand

Our first stop in New Zealand (North Island) was Auckland. One day we managed to make it up to the top of the sky tower which enabled us to get a 360 degree view of the city, it was amazing but we didnt enjoy walking along the glass floor sections!! We also walked round by the harbour, where all the fancy bars and restaurants were.... would have spent a fortune if we went in anywhere so instead we decided to make our own sandwiches then head to the supermarket to pick up some cheap drinks!!!! When we left Auckland on the Kiwi bus we also got the chance to see Auckland from the top of a dormant volcano, not something you get to do everyday! From Auckland we travelled south to a little place called Mercury Bay, stopping off at cathedral cove on the way. It was really pretty but would have been more enjoyable if it wasnt so cold.
