Day 31& 32 ~ February 05 and 06 Overnight 2015 Auckland New Zealand

This is a brand new port for us. We have been to the South Island but not the north island. I really don't think of New Zealand as Polynesia island but it is.
Auckland's waterside location has fostered the locals' love affair with the sea, earning this place the nickname "City of Sails".
Auckland's heart beats to a Polynesian rhythm, its people a melting pot of South Pacific and Asian cultures and a strong indigenous Maori heritage. This diversity brings with it an abundance of unique dining and shopping experiences.
Auckland's temperate climate, easy access to the coast and variety of activities earn the city consistent top five rankings in international lifestyle surveys. This is our first time here so we are going to take a walk through the city.
The city's most striking man-made structure is the harbor Bridge. It arcs dramatically across Waitemata harbor, linking the city with the fast-growing North Shore. Auckland, with its cosmopolitan flair, offers excellent dining opportunities to satisfy the most refined tastes.
Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium: The Antarctic Encounter is home to New Zealand's only sub-Antarctic penguins, offering a rare opportunity to see the magnificent birds up close in their icy domain. So we have 2 days here to explore.....stay tuned....
