Auckland Pictures

Auckland - this picture was taken of me (aptly) on Mount Victoria, the highest point of Devonport. You can see Auckland town itself in the background, complete with Skytower and a very active harbour. This was probably the warmest day of our trip so far - beautifully sunny - but even then we had to wear coats. I'm missing the warmer temperatures of Asia, but Gary's in his element - wearing sandals in hailstorms!
Gary in Devonport, on the harbourside. You can see some lava flow on the left of the photo - the lack rocks just visible above he water. There was a pretty impressive set of sea-gulls resting there, about twice the size of the ones we see in the UK.
Auckland has a lovely park called The Domain, with a few trees which are made for climbing. I couldn't resist the one below!
And finally a picture of Gary in the rainforest part of The Domain. Under a few particularly nice palm trees. I didn't know they had palms in New Zealand - thought it was too cold!
