I've taken a lot of pics of the skyline of Auckland coz it looks different everywhere you go.<br><br>I can see why people don't like Auckland coz it is just a city and they get stuck in a rutt of just going out and boozing all the time but i've learnt the further you go out of the city the more there is to do and the more you can see. <br><br>Next stop Hamilton and who knows whats in store there!<br><br>Much love<br><br>Jamie<br><br>xx
