Auckland
8th - 10th April
We finally arrived in Auckland, the City of Sails. We spent a couple of days with my Mum's cousin Eileen and her family. They took us on a great tour of the city, it really is the city of sails, there are boats everywhere. Fortunately, Angelo (Eileen's husband) is a yacht designer and he could answer any questions and also showed us some of his own designs floating around in the harbour - inculding the shuttle ferries.
The city is also littered with volcanoes. 48 to be precise. Luckily most are inactive. This photo is taken at the top of a volcanoe looking into the crater. You can just make out the Auckland city skyline in the background and some kids sledging down the crater on plastic bags.
