I'd rather be swinging at grapefruits than aspirins.

It’s Slidey Up There

Thursday June 6, 2013

The weather in Auckland could not be more beautiful! It is 1pm on Thursday and there are about three small clouds in the clear blue sky with temperature of 57. I just feels fresh here.

I’m on the Air Bus shuttle to the hotel and I’m going to get to see a lot of the city between the airport and the hotel on the harbour. Everything is lush green, even on the side of the highway. The neighborhood we drove through had small but nice homes. Mostly wooden with quaint porches and proper landscaping. Here are just some random shots.

I'm confused as to what these stores offer.

My hotel is freaking amazing! I am right on the water in Princes Wharf – it is on all sides of me.

My room is on the 6th floor and has a balcony overlooking the harbour. I will be spending a lot of time out there! For some reason I like to watch the ferries pull in and out of their boat slips. Could do it all day.

This is the Cloud Building - a ferry terminal they built for the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

View at night. I kind of had my own Vivid Lights!
