Auckland Exploration on Te Ika-a-Māui

After over a full day's delay, we finally landed on North Island of New Zealand in Auckland a bit late in the day.  After settling in, Allie and I took got running start on our exploration of the city.  Sky Tower is within walking distance of our hotel, so we headed over. Sky Tower is tall enough to view everything in Auckland from high-up. Many of the places we will be exploring are clearly visible.

After getting-the-lay-of-the-land, we explored on foot for while, then had an awesome dinner at Origine Bistro with great food and incredible service.  We had a table that offered a good view of the Harbor too.

Due to the delay in arrival, there are a number of places we had to push off or reconsider for another trip in the future. However, the next few days did not disappoint!
