Auckland Sky Dives & Dinner with Friends

We had a good flight from Singapore arrived at the hotel 1.30am today Tues. Woke to a warm but cloudy city. First stop the Sky Tower www.skycityauckland.co.nz for the sky jump. Shame it was closed as we were both looking forward to it! Ha Ha. I was even scared going up in the lift let alone walking on the glass floor, goodness knows how high up we were! Magnificent views! Some strange people were strapped to harnesess and were walking around the outside on a narrow metal grid. WHY?
Later on Juliette picked us up and we went to Mount Eden to look at the volcanos that surround Auckland, back to thier house for dinner to meet Paul, Thomas and Alex had a great time. Juilette then took us round the bays. Thank you so much.

I'm convinced you're on a different timescale where one of our minutes = one of your hours. I go to sleep, then just wake up in the same place; during that time you two have flown to Auckland, been up a Tower, met up with people, been to someone's house, seen volcanos, and seen around some bays! Please buy me a southern hemisphere watch!
