Auckland, again


We came back to Auckland yesterday as Mom & Dad had to catch their plane today. Last night we went to Minus 5 which is a bar made completely of ice (glasses and all). It was odd, but interesting. Afterward, we had a wonderful Teppanyaki meal and got some much needed sleep. We walked around a bit downtown and then they took off for the airport.
I went up to the top of the SkyTower (the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere) and took a look aroud Auckland. I'm not generally afraid of heights, but the veiw down made me a bit queasy. I finished up some last minute gift shopping and tonight I am treating myself to an in-room pedicure, hot bath, and a movie.
Tomorrow I'll head up to the Northland and stay on a farm near Whangarei before continuing on to the Bay of Islands for some sailing and dolphins.
And speaking of dolphins... congrats to Vez on the the great new job!!!

Hi Chris, We made it back to Alaska. Everything's fine here. Rusty was happy to see us and he looks healthy. The time difference is weird, but I'm sure it's just jet lag. You should be headed to Pahia today (Thursday for you)hope the weather is good and you get to do what you've planned. Your blog is great! Thanks for doing this, it helps jog my memory.
