Auckland Snippets

Our goto way of checking out a Metropolitan city is to do the hop on and hop off bus.. Easy to get an overview of the city… And the double decker bus here has a glass top instead of open top..

New Zealands called themselves Kiwis… I thought they are talking about the fruit (for those in the know, yes, that is how ignorant I am)…. Turns out it is a flightless bird native to NZ… Lol

Ladies and gentlemen, the very special and cute Kiwi bird…
Another flightless bird….. How come they are all so cute 😍

Auckland is very multi cultural with huge Asian community, so all over town there are sushi shops and Chinese restaurants with mandarin store signs… For a few moments we thought we were in San Francisco

So we picked a Indonesian restaurant for lunch and ordered Mee goreng, satay and gado gado…. My Singaporean friend knew what they are…

Parnell village, a relax seaside town with nice restaurants and shops…. Where we have our Indonesian lunch

Downtown street views
Sky tower… Looking at it from the ship and then looking at the ship from the tower… Beam me up Scottie!!
Learn the Maori culture through the Auckland museum and performance at ship theatre

Thank you Auckland for giving us such a beautiful day and weather ! Warm sun, light breeze… We heard southern California is suffering from torrential rain and storm right now… Take care every one back home 😘

We left the Auckland port by 12:30 am
