It was time to leave Auckland and head to our next destination, Sydney. Unfortunately, this happened at 4 a.m.! We were both exhausted by the time we got to our hotel in Sydney.
Auckland was okay, but not a place I would spend more than a couple of days unless you plan on touring around the outskirts of town. The skywalk was not nearly as scary as we thought. We were strapped into a harness the entire time. Literally, we walked around the perimeter of the needle. The tour guide had us hang over the edge and stand in funny poses to make the most of the adrenaline rush. The best part of the whole experience was seeing Auckland from all views. It was beautiful. We weren’t allowed to take photos and the pics they took were pretty silly so we decided to forgo the $30 photo.
The hotel we are staying at is called the Shangri La Hotel. It is in a prime location and the service so far has been impeccable. The rooms are beautiful and we have a front row seat to Darling Harbor. Tonight we plan on heading to check out some live music and dinner. Tomorrow we were thinking of heading to Bondi Beach. It’s funny to think that they have such a large beach right here in town. I’m just excited to be around water.
