Sky Tower

Hi guys it has been a long time I know... Busy week here down under: I bought a car and had my first job interview, visited Auckland Central Business District and the parks around the city.

Here are some shots of the Sky Tower, finished in 1997, height of 220m, higher than the one in Sydney.

 The drop... expensive and not a real bungee jump... "safety reasons"
 Housing areas are covered with these typical wooden houses
The triangular building is the Civic Center midtown's heart.
In the background on the left: Auckland University of Technology buildings.
In the far background you see Mount Eden an ancient volcano (The Bamber House my hostel is located nearby).
 Auckland Domain and the museum in the middle.
Me, the port, North Head and Rangitoto island (volcano in the background)... there are 23 old volcanoes in and around Auckland.
 PWC building on the shore...
 ...Deloitte centre in the shopping area
don't forget their "Kiwi Bank" !
