Home - Yay ...

Home

Well after about 4 and a half months I’m back home. Really great. First thing I noticed is that people seem more friendly. Don’t know if people really are friendlier here in NZ, perhaps it’s just that you always feel more comfortable at home. You know how things work etc, so you perceive that things are easier and more friendly. Having said this, just after the SMILING NZ immigration officer had checked my passport at Auckland Airport, he said “Welcome Home”. Awesome.

What now?

Arggggh! Back to the grind, looking for a new job. However I will try and take a few photos of Auckland and post them here ...

Hopefully will get around to making a website with more holiday photos ...

Photos

Auckland Sky Tower & Central Auckland
Actually took this photo before I went on holiday. I'm not really a fan of the tower because it's connected to a casino, but it has become sort of an Auckland icon.

Queen Street
Main street of central Auckland. People from Wellington have this joke about NASA using Queen Street for astronaut training due to the lack of atmosphere. Ha ha.

Train Station
Auckland Train Station. (Some people might wonder at the wisdom of a combination of diesel trains and an enclosed/indoor station.)

Ferry Building
Ferry building with ferries ready to cross Auckland Harbour, or head out to some of the nearby islands.

Albert Park
Sort of Victorian style (flower beds, fountain, bandstand, statue of Queen Victoria) park in centre of Auckland. Quite nice.

Civic Picture Theatre
Art Deco picture theatre built in the 1930s I think.
