MONDAY, FEB. 16: AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND

1. One out four “Kiwis” live in Auckland, the “City of Sails”. There are “more yachts per capita than any other city in the world” – and it’s hilly too. Auckland is built on fourteen extinct volcanoes!
2. Skytower is a familiar landmark.
3. The highest point we walked to today was in Albert Park – we rested on the way up and Hästa aroused some local interest.
4. University of Auckland Clock Tower building
5. Queen Victoria reigns supreme among the blooms.
6. Here’s one clock that Ed can’t hang on the wall, and we can’t take it home with us. Whew!
