Sweet Ass–New Zealand

22 April 2012 – Auckland City

The flight from Santiago was pretty good and felt very short because it was during the night. Only the fact, that we had to turn around on the runway for maintenance before departure in Santiago made me a little bit nervous. “Safety first”, I thought, offered a can of beer, a glass of wine and two cups whiskey-cola before I slept like… actually I can’t remember how. After my longest flight of 13 hours, I arrived at 4 AM in Auckland (time travelling), where Flo picked me up. We went to the families house, where he a nanny for half a year. The house was located in very nice suburb of Auckland. I really felt like being in the United States. Wide streets, little gardens in front of the houses and most of the houses only one-storied.

In the afternoon Flo and I went to the city centre, had a look around and went up the largest building of New Zealand, the SkyTower. I took 28 pictures for you to have a 360° look around. Enlarge it on the arrow at the top right corner - it is amazing!

The SkyWalk … was too expensive for me! But the glass-floor in the elevator gave me quite the same feeling!
