After an exhausting flight from Singapore we arrived in New Zealand on Friday night. The Hotel is in the centre not far from the waterside.
We have had a whistlestop tour of Auckland, yesterday we went up the sky tower to see the all round views of the city and had a long walk out to the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron where the Admirals Cup was kept when New Zealand won it in 1995 and 2000. Last night we joined all the Office Christmas Party crowds in strange attire in Queen Street, the place was buzzing with elves, Santa and some LA Trashy Brides?? Even the American tourists didn't understand that one!

Today we visited the Maritime Museum and then had lunch with friends Bob and Sue who have been sailing these waters since they came through the Panama Canal just behind us in 2012. Tomorrow we pick up the Mighty Deuce to see more of the countryside from our campervan.
