Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud, known to us as New Zealand. I started off in Auckland, but didn't really spend much time there. I'm not a city dweller, and after Hong Kong wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle. There's no better place to do that than New Zealand. Seeing as I started in Auckland, here's a couple of views of the city. One of them was taken from Mission Bay, showing the Sky Tower, the other was taken looking over from Devonport and to the far right of this photo, you may just be able to make out the harbour bridge. The weather was a little erratic at times, as you will see by the clouds. Although it was quite warm, it was spring over there and short, heavy bursts of rainfall were quite a feature of this holiday. Good job I never let a bit of rain bother me..
