Auckland: Day One Hundred and Thirteen (9 February)

Today Graeme acted as our local tour guide showing us round Auckland. We started in the coastal suburbs and had brunch in Remuera. Then we took the train from Orakei into Auckland City Centre.

It is known as the City of Sails and the harbour is gorgeous (if not quite as breathtaking as Sydney). We had a lovely walk around it and along Queen Street (Auckland's main commercial thoroughfare) before catching the train back to Orakei.


Graeme drove us to Mount Eden where we had tea sitting outside - we've been so lucky with the weather during this trip - before returning to our motel via One Tree Hill. (Now known locally as No Tree Hill after the tree fell down :-).
