5 time zones so far
Auckland
08.04.2011 - 08.07.2011
It has been a few days since we last posted. Since then, we have been in 5 time zones and are feeling a bit confused now about times and dates. We have been in Auckland, Melbourne, Shanghai, and now New Delhi. Due to time, we'll only mention Auckland right now and then sometime soon when we have time again talk about Melbourne and post some pictures.
Auckland was an amazing city. The city itself was very modern in appearance and there was a great energy (especially around All Blacks fans). You can hear several languages being spoken in Auckland. It was pleasing to see that the native Maori culture has not been forgotten and had been woven into the fabric of society. With only a few days, we decided to make the most of a very walkable city and explore museums, art, and a view from Sky City (a 220 m high tower where Brodie confessed his fear of heights on the elevator ride up). We hopped on a couple of trains to explore the areas outside of the city. We also enjoyed an All Blacks rugby game against the Australian team (the Bledisloe Cup) at a local pub filled with New Zealand All Blacks fans who had travelled from other parts of the country to catch the game in Auckland. The All Blacks won, which meant lots of celebrating. Had it not been so cold, we would've bought a ticket to watch the game live. O well. Maybe next time.
And then we were off to Melbourne in southern Australia.....
