After four weeks, todays my last day in NZ, b4 tomorrow flying here from Auckland to OZ. Auckland's most obvious feature is the Sky Tower, which I visited, yesterday. Was impressed by it, the lift up was fast and the view of the city was excellent but couldn't help noticing just one small point which was made in the film shown to visitors which was that the tower will only sway a maximum of a metre either way whatever the wind conditions. Dont know about you but that seemed rather a lot to me.........!
For the last couple of days as for the first couple of days when I arrived, have been staying at Grafton Hall of Residence, which is part of the Auckland University. Only those at Hull University like me will know the vivid images conjured up by the very mention of the word Grafton...... Unlike that street, however where the sun never shone this Grafton is rather more pleasant and is recommended for its good value, free unlimited internet, sky TV, cooked breakfast, all for a rather reasonable $45, (thats about 15 pounds) per night.....
