Back in February, my friends and I went on our long awaited cruise. We had booked the cruise months in advance and it was a great source of motivation to get through the semester and work. I realise it was 5 months ago but now that it's the middle of a very cold winter, I find myself reminiscing our time on the cruise. The islands were perfectly warm, the water was at an optimal cool temperature and sun bathing on the deck with the sun kissing your skin was just amazing. Not only that, but the general consensus was that being out in the middle of the ocean allowed us to leave our problems back on land and truly relax.
Random snaps of the city. Old mixed with the new.
An old train station building. Inside was really nicely kept and renovated.

Skytower at night. We tried entering the casino that night as well but the legal age for entering the casino was 20. Boo :(
We arrived at Auckland on a Sunday. We didn't expect our first challenge to be locating a restaurant still open on a Sunday night. Walked around for a whole hour and managed to find a single Japanese restaurant open. We were at the point of hunger where everything tasted good.
Otherwise, it was a good first day. I never really paid attention to architecture but the quirkiness and old English feel of some of the buildings and houses in Auckland captured my attention.
