Stratosphere? Pah! Sky Tower is where it’s at!

So downtown Auckland was very nice, we took a bus ride in, marvelling at all the strange and exotic sights (love the very colonial style of buildings everywhere) before doing the whole tourist thing…going up the Sky Tower!

That thing is BIG! The elevator (or if you prefer the english ‘lift’) was quick and made my ears pop, but once up there the views were stunning, especially in the sun, you can pretty much see all of the surroundings, and can really see that Auckland is a series of strung out extinct volcanoes (good job, that!)

Everything was going so well until I looked down. Who’s stupid idea was it to install glass floors?

waaaaaay scary! And then some mad people went outside for a walk around the ‘Sky Path’! No thank you! But the REALLY mad ones? Well they sneer at walking, and prefer diving…

 

 

Well I guess it beats taking the elevator back down again!
