Lunch at Auckland Sky Tower

As a birthday and Christmas gift from Merryn and Dennis, we had a posh lunch at the top of Auckland Sky Tower.

Here is Auckland from 220m above the street level.
The restaurant rotates 360 degrees very slowly while we dined. We spotted several interesting things.

A big Santa:

A person bungy jumping off the tower:


The brand new PINK cycle route. According to the article I read, this $18 million cycleway links Upper Queen Street to Quay Street via the Nelson Street off ramp, which is no longer in use.  They cycle route is also to be used by pedestrians and connects to the northwestern and Grafton Gully cycleways for access to and from the city centre. Next time we visit Auckland, we would like to try to walk on it with the kids.  

Rangitoto Island


The Auckland Harbour Bridge


Oliver and Ashley shared some macaroni cheese and chips with green salad.


Luca had some of Matthew's beef steak. 


I really enjoyed this yummy risotto and fish dish. 


The kids even got treated with some fancy ice cream for dessert!


Thank you Merryn and Dennis for a very special treat. We really really enjoyed it!
