Auckland New Zealand

We left Brisbane on an early morning flight yesterday, hoping we would arrive in Auckland ahead of Cyclone Pam which had earlier devastated the usually peaceful islands of Vanuatu. Such a beautiful country and wonderful people, my heart goes out to them.
We had plenty of rain and wind last night and woke to a slightly wet morning which has turned into a warm sunny afternoon. The cyclone has gone further south.
We headed for the Auckland Art Gallery this morning to get out of the rain, what a lovely gallery it turned out to be and we spent several hours wandering around it.

                         

I found this lovely looking circular stairwell.

                         

After the gallery we headed for the waterfront.

                         

Tomorrow, we head south on a bus to Hamilton where we will be met by our homeowners to start our housesit.

    I love that staircase picture. And I also look forward to seeing a bit of Hamilton while you're there. :-)
