LOML and I have just got back from Auckland (it is a couple of degrees warmer up there, and believe me, when it's bloody freezing, you appreciate those two degrees). We had to visit the US Consulate to wrap up a couple of final things. Strangely enough, the people next to us in the queue were from Austin. A sign? I choose to think so.
The view from our hotel room. (Speaking of which, our hotel room had some strange ideas about our habits - there was three of everything in our double room, from towels to water glasses. We didn't invite a friend up, though).
The consulate building, conveniently located right opposite. Good job, LOML!
Celebratory coffee afterwards. Auckland is a great city for people-watching - I've never spent any time there before, and I absolutely loved it. What a beautiful city.
We performed the obligatory tourist activity and climbed the Sky Tower. The views were amazing, unsurprisingly. I thought that I wouldn't mind the glass floor at all, but it actually freaked me out a wee bit. 38mm of glass between me and an enormous drop is not very heartening.
View of the city, looking out to sea.
Seafood paella and sav at Neptune's on The Viaduct.
And now the countdown begins - one week to go!
