Visitors and Auckland best venues






It has been great to welcome visitors to Auckland. Obviously the main visitors have been Granny and Grandpops (Rosie's parents) but we have also had James and Dawn Wilson to stay (James was Rosie's housemate in Sheffield).
I would say we have 4 favourite Auckland attractions that we like to visit.
1. The Sky Tower. This dominates the Auckland skyline and is the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere!! We went up with Rosie's parents and had a great time looking through the glass floors.
2. Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill (Made famous by the U2 song). Always a great afternoon trip. The views from the top of One Tree hill are stunning (although it is now no tree hill because some joker cut it down in protest for Maori rights!!). This was the venue for Grandpops' Birthday breakfast.
3. Mission Bay, St Heliers, and the Kahve experience. A great cycle ride and big breakfast! We did this twice when James and Dawn visited because we love it so much!
4. Mt Eden. This is an extinct volcano with a big crater. It has great views but also a fun park at the bottom of it. Matilda and Harry love the zip wire.
