We are finally here after traveling 36 hours, 22 of them in the air. We arrived yesterday evning (Friday here) about 7:00pm, which is 1:00am Friday EST. That puts us 18 hours ahead of EST. We didn't do much last night, walked out of the hotel looked at the harbor and went to bed.
This morning it was raining and windy. Auckland is known as the city of sails due to the high number of boat ownership here. Well, the only thing sailing this morning were umbrellas. We decided to take the hop on hop off bus around town. We stoped at the Antartic museum which is a combination penguin exhibt and aquarium of southern ocean species. Then we visited a beautiful old wooden cathedral of New Zealand and it's new one next door, saw the museum, went to the artsy/schmartsy part of town. This was Bill Clintons favorite part of Auckland, I can see why, as there are many very good looking women here. We did some walking around town, and are now about eady to go out for dinner. Tomorow and Tuesday we tour the north Island. We will keep you posted.
