Aukland, New Zealand (not the home of the Raiders)

Auckland, New Zealand is a modern city with over one million in population. The city is the host to the Americas Cup Yacht races. The city is known as the city of sails with 5 out of 6 households owning a boat of some sort. We are a day ahead of you at this point having just celebrated Valentine’s Day. It is a clean city which has preserved the old Victorian buildings and merged them with the modern designs. The Sky Tower is the tallest building in Auckland and offers a 600+ foot bungi jump.

You can see that Sue tans the best out of our group.

I just just a tad dizzy from the excitement of climbing that high. Obviously, I'm not scared of heights or anything. Maybe it was some cold medicine...


Luckily, this is a guided tour. Although, I imagine that Dick could ignore these signs just as well as the ones back in the states.
