Got up to another overcast day. Gary convinces us it will be sunny by 3pm. Yeah right. I do a backlog of blog posts and We go into Auckland seeing the city, hitting some nice gardens and ending up in a restraunt by the beach in Mission Bay for lunch overlooking Rangitoto Island which is a volcano and apparently makes an intersting climb. Auckland has a really brilliant skyline dominated by the Skytower; a dinner at the top is planned for one day. Just after getting back about 3pm the clouds begin to clear and I finally get some fabled NZ sunshine; leading to a sunbathe on the patio and beer drinking. I totaly have to eat my words disbelieving Gary - should always trust the native. Everything looks totally different in the sun and I now feel suitably burned.Much sadness! I discover I left my Nintendo DS on the plane. Bah! It is ancient and I want one of the new ones, but even so... very inconvenient. It had all my fave games and saves on the card; more gutted about losing that than the DS itself.
It's ace that is doesn't get dark until nearly 9pm; it is dark by 5 back home.
