2008 New Zealand Trip

Auckland

Auckland

Our first landing spot in New Zealand was naturally Auckland. A vibrant city called the City of Sails. We started our tour here and we ended it with a final weekend.


A nice ocean view of Auckland..


The most impressive sail yacht I've ever seen..



Some lucky person got to bungy right off the
bridge to all boaters delight.

The Zoot Shooters theme keep following us all
over the world. These guys were out to promote
the "Prohibition" restaurant.

in the Auckland harbor.


Auckland from the Sky Tower.


Edide, Emma and myself from One Tree Hill Park.
I asked Peter which of the trees they named it
after since I saw several..
This volcano last erupted 20 - 30,000 years ago.


My mom was so afraid I'd get eaten by shark on
this trip. I took this picture in her honor and gave
her a stuffed cuddle-shark for xmas.


Picture taken through the floor of Sky Tower.


Auckland's Sky Tower, 328 meter.


Eddie traveled the farthest... 17,828 kilometers
to Oslo, Norway from here...


Live Music at the restaurant created the right
atmosphere. Killer. Thanks guys.



Just up our alley... The Prohibition Restaurant.


Gourmet meal at the Prohibition.
I have no words to describe how I felt about
not bringing my zoot suit for this trip.
Won't happen again.

The Prohibition Restaurant in Auckland is a 1920-30's restaurant to every little detail.
Even plumbing in the bathrooms were done to fit the era. The food is high class, gourmet.
