We’re in Wellington, last day of the pretty uninspiring North Island (with a few exceptions) and of the noisy, boring driver (yay!). I have no interest in the city and so have opted to skip the city tour to give myself an entirely free day in peace and quiet.
But here are some photos of Auckland from our two separate visits there:
View from our room in the morning
View of harbour and departing Cunard liner at Sunset:
We visited the charming seaside town of Devonport, and saw this three in hand wagon:
On the return visit we went to the rather lovely Winter Gardens which featured a fern walk and two quite impressive snamm green houses:
All in all I’d say Auckland is eminently missable but makes a decent stopover if you must have one.
