We are ahead of you a day so we are celebrating New Year's Eve today.
It is a gorgeous day with temps in the high 60's, low 70's.
We started te day with coffee and breakfast at a little place on the ground level of our big tall apartment building.(Did I mention we are on the 30th floor?)
About five blocks from our apartment we caught the hop on hop off bus and took it around the city for the next six hours. We spent quite a bit of time at the Auckland Museum. We saw a Maori cultural program and spent quite a bit of time in their WWII exhibits. Amazing place.
In the late afternoon we found ourselves at the convenience grocery along with most of Auckland. WE had cheese, pear, apple, and crackers for dinner with a Magnum bar chaser. How can it get better than that?
WE plan to end our day viewing the midnight fireworks over Auckland from the Sky City ( A VERY high tower where crazy people bungee jump)
Happy New Year to you all. We send you best wishes for a healthy and happy 2014.
