BOTTOM LINE:
Toured Auckland
BACKSTORY:
Bruce and I spent the day retrieving Bruce's stored baggage, repacking, resting and preparing for Fiji. We toured the waterfront area of Auckland by foot. The historical restored Ferry Building was quite a contrast to the swanky, popular eateries and night clubs.

The walkway gave a great view of the city skyline and the marina.
We were told that nearly every household has some kind of boat, so you can imagine the number of slips. There was also a large stepped swimming area for locals to enjoy.
The ongoing rivalry for the America's Cup sailing races was explained in a pictorial board display. The Kiwi's have a fierce competitive spirit when it comes to sailing and water sports. We actually got a view of one of the Kiwi vessels.
A walk on the waterfront would not be complete without sushi for Barb and an ice cream for Bruce! We met a group of college students from China enjoying some dessert after singing in a Christian concert.
