Auckland

Arriving in Auckland was really nice. First of all the weather was great, and I mean comfortable great, and not the sauna we would discover later on... :) but that is for the next post...

The city has a nice skyline, for those that like tall buildings, but that was not really our case...


What really impressed me was:

1) The people are super nice! And I mean really really nice. In commerce as on the street, we felt so comfortable and welcome there.

(Well, not everyone was super nice perhaps... on the right is a note found on a public bathroom... watch out for Sharky :))
2) We hadn't had any decent food for a long time... the food there was awesome :) and affordable (check the pics of our first meal there). Risotto with Avocado asparagus and walnuts, and Chicken Cajun sandwich, with so many things I cannot even remember... but I remember it was delicious...



























3) The trees, houses, water, flowers, landscape, sky... everytyhing was so nice...




Although we were tired like I have difficulty describing, we had a lot of fun there, with the Kiwis... (below is a picture of me on the ferry to Devon Port just 10 minutes from Auckland.


Just to finish, the police motto there is: "To serve and protect the Kiwis". :) So funny, they all call themselves Kiwis... Everywhere you go, they always refer to themselves as Kiwis.

Then it was time to move on to Port Vila...
