Auckland, day 1

After getting over the loss of our trusted traveling companion (the van) we had 7 more days to explore Auckland and the area.

Downtown Auckland.

Such a magestic shag!

A moment later - gross!!!

Our first look at the space needle, which can be seen from just about anywhere in the city.

Up close - only a few blocks from our hostel!

At the Auckland Museum - an approximation of what a moa (giant flightless bird) would have looked like.  They made this one out of emu feathers.

Picture of Mount Ngauruhoe erupting in 1974.

And again in 1926.

A copy of one of the victims of the Vesuvius eruption in Pompeii - whose shape was preserved in the volcanic ash as he/she died covering their face to prevent smoke inhalation.

A real moa skeleton!

More views of the space needle from around town.
