A very wet and gloomy morning greeted us today. Our plan was to visit one of the many islands in Auckland's harbour but given the conditions hiking to the top of an extinct volcano was out of the question.
Our new destination became Auckland Museum. A short bus ride took us almost to the front door. Sitting on top of a hill it has fantastic views over the city. Inside it provided a wonderful overview of the Pacific nations, Auckland and also houses the War Memoral.
Rather than catch the bus back we chanced our luck with the weather and walked back through Parnell, a lovely shopping strip, and east Auckland taking in some of the places we had yet to see.
Dinner took us deeper into the Auckland Old Port area to North Wharf tat also have us a new view of the city.
