Our day trip start with a walk to the city. Auckland was called ‘The City of Sails’. The Maori people call it Tamaki Makau Rau which means ‘The City of 100 Lovers’. Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand. The city is so much alike Melbourne. Our first destination would be the Sky Tower. It is the tallest structure in the southern hemisphere, with heights of 328 metres. We had gone up the Sky Tower in Melbourne too. Next stop, we went to the Victoria Park Market. Got myself a pair of Guess Spiral Hi shoes. I told u rite it is so much like Melbourne. But seriously the weather is not like Melbourne at all. It was not that cold. I’ve experienced Melbourne, and it was way colder and gloomy. I didn’t really wear much thick jacket that day. The next stop was the Ferry Building. It was an old ferry station building located at the bottom of Queen St at the Auckland Harbour. Stop for a break after long way of walking. We had our lunch at a Kebab stall. Then we made our way to the University of Auckland and also passed by the Auckland University of Technology too. It is a cool uni in the middle of the city.

Later the evening went out to find some groceries. Finding out that it was so expensive in the oriental shop. Slept early again, charging back our energy for the next day.
