Last day in Town

Another walk around town to catch up on some emails as the apartment does not have any Wi-Fi. Interesting how we cannot cope without modern technology for more than a day or so.

Auckland here we come

Today we head back to Auckland, it was a lovely few days staying in the Bay of Islands and taking in the history of the Maori people. A shame we did not see the whales but a pod of dolphins still was a great treat.Read more

Back in Orakei

We stayed in today to catch up on the washing and have a rest after our mini break. Melissa and Charlie both have colds so it was just nice being home and not doing anything except play with Charlie.

It's my Birthday
August 26, 2019 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Todays adventure was a trip to the Aquarium, it was so much better than I thought and really worth the visit. Especially as on your birthday it is free, bonus.

The Aquarium opened in 1985 by a New Zealand underwater adventurer Kelly Tarlton, we have thought visiting before when visiting Melissa but as they leaving soon it was a gift for us for my birthday and fathers day. The Aquarium houses thousands of marine animals from hundreds of species, including sharks, penguins, turtles, stingrays, seahorses, fish, so many penguins and some we had never seen before. It is also home to the largest penguin colony in the Southern Hemisphere and is New Zealand's only turtle rescue centre.

Melissa made a lovely chocolate cake for my birthday, it was a great day.Read more

Sky Tower
August 28, 2019 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Today is going to be busy. Wriggle and Rhyme with Charlie at St Helliers, Lunch for my birthday and fathers day at Sky Tower and Luke is flying a plane which is an experience her received as a present..

We walked along the Bay for a little with Charlie before wriggle and rhyme started. Melissa was not that impressed with this wriggle and rhyme but for us it was more about watching Charlie. We then went to Sky Tower for a lovely meal. The day was finished with Luke doing a flight simulator into Auckland airport.Read more
