Day 1 As I was very tired and slept a lot on the plane I didn't even realize that it took a few hours from Brisbane to Auckland. The rest of my time was required to fill in arrival form, which was quite extensive. Just before landing I spotted kiwi land for the first time - it looked so green.

... at their local fete and then walking around some outlet shops. Next it's into town to Viaduct Quay for lunch before heading off to Newmarket/Broadway for more mooching (and some cake!). We took a stroll up to Mount Eden for some views of the city in the late afternoon, and make our way into the Parnell district for dinner.

The views back across the water to Auckland city centre were even more spectacular than those from the boat and you also had ...
