Auckland - high towers, bungy and time travel

We drove the few hours up to Auckland and said goodbye to our spaceship, Mork. He did us proud and we managed to drive 3,400 km around New Zealand, not counting the 2 bus trips we did, to the ski field and to the Lord of the Rings film set, so we feel we've got our money's worth.

Auckland is a big cosmopolitan city but with only 24 hours and not much energy we just hung out. We did manage to get to the sky tower - a huge, well, tower with great views of Auckland and its surroundings (82km in each direction) and even got to see someone bungy jumping off the platform. Well, it wasn't really bungy but you still jump off and a rope slows you down near the bottom. Whatever, you won't catch me doing that!

The tiny dot to the right of the tower is a crazy woman!


New Zealand is famous for it's adrenaline sports and I can't decide if New Zealanders are just crazy people, or if NZ is such a boring place they feel they have to do extreme things to make life more interesting!

El doing the sky jump...not!!


It was lovely to be back in a bed in a room and we celebrated by having a yummy Japanese meal...mmMMmmmm sushi.

We fly to Chile on Monday 27th at 5.35pm and then arrive in Santiago, Chile on Monday 27th at 1pm. HANG ON....HOW THE F*&%#$ DOES THAT WORK? I guess traveling around in a spaceship has given us the ability to time travel too!
