After a fantastic weekend with the Cuzzys in Half Moon Bay, I caught the ferry back to downtown Auckland, providing a sweet view of the city:
The Queen Mary 2 was docked in the harbour:
Was a pretty big ship for Auckland, nothing compared to what I've seen docked in ports in Turkey though:
More work meetings for the next week, we did enjoy some great sunsets from restaurants at the Viaduct though:
And I stayed at City Life hotel for the week, got a great view from my room during the day:
and night:
I took off up the Sky Tower with my parents when they arrived for the weekend:
Here are a few panorama's I took:
Port of Auckland:
Auckland Harbour Bridge:
Looking South:
Looking towards Mission Bay:
Some guys hairy legs got in the way of my photo here:
Bridget FINALLY arrived on Sat and we spent the next few days with her Mum and bro in Mission Bay:
There was a Jazz festival going on while we were there which was great to check out on a summers evening:
We were treated to a great sunset, lighting up the clouds over Rangitoto Island:
People lapping up more of the Jazz on the beach:
I had two more days of meetings in my 3rd week down in Wellington, we got a chance to ride the cable car to get up to see one of the companies, Here's JP getting on board:
Riding up:
And treated to a fantastic view at the top:
Again, from the observatory up there:
Then it's been a few days well spent with my parents at the Castle in Tirau! Here's the clan (Bridget, me, Phil, Tiff, Mum, Dad, Emma, Tyla and Kyle):
And a cool snap of Bridget's mum, bro Paul, Bridge and myself:
And a lovely last pic of Bridget and I outside the parents castle:
