Day 1 in Auckland

Some pix of day 1 in Auckland. Wherever there's a coffee shop with free Wi-Fi there's Colin and his tablet. At the moment the Coffee Bean &Tea Leaf in Singapore is winning in the coffee stakes, but Rushworth's on the quayside in Auckland has a better signal.


The harbour here is worth a look. The Kiwis obviously love their sailing and there are millions of $ worth of boats alongside.


They make a good backdrop for the skyline of downtown Auckland.


Thanks for the tip Andy, the Auckland fish market is the place to eat. We made short work of this Ocean platter (oh, and the Marlborough pinot gris won the wine contest).

    I love this bloggy thing ~ 1 step closer to me not hating computers quite so much!
    NZ looks absolutely wonderful and thank you for the message about the longboat!
    Parley news: Ian Tovey is going to do an hour viking saga story time in Viking week for us and Jacky is looking into unblocking your blog from the network!
    Everything else the same and everyone sends their love!
    Miss you!
