Bummin' Around Auckland

Okay, so the museum was amazing! Jesse was really excited to actually find the Zero that was on display from WW2. We had read about it in books but to actually see that in fact they had one of the rare aircraft was pretty cool. That was Wednesday. We spend around 6 hours at the museum and about 2 walking there. We experienced a bit of what the concierge at our hotel explained by saying " in New Zealand we experience all four seasons in one day". Um, yah. We got rained on and sunshined on and then poured on and misted on all in a 2 hour walk. It was definitely worth it though. We caught a bus back to the hotel and then went out that night to a pub down the street called amios(?). They had a Catcha Cray machine, much like the ones back home where you try to get a stuffed animal and they crane never goes around anything. We watched a few guys playing the machine and they actually caught 2 cray's! The workers brought them plastic bags and they just carried these cray around in plastic bags. Pubs are open here until 4 or later and so those poor cray! Yesterday we walked to the harbor and checked out sky city. We also enjoyed a bit of our after noon in a beautiful park with awesome old trees. The roots of the trees are hollow and you can climb down inside of them!! I've got pictures. Love you all, gotta go=:) We are gonna check on bus tickets to Warkworth today. We have a few days left in Auckland to enjoy.
