We had a great time. Our hotel was lovely and very central and despite the horrible weather (two storms hit Auckland while we were there) we managed to have a great time. We visited Kelly Tarltons and saw the Sharks being fed. We took a fantastic day trip to Waitomo to see the glow worm caves (www.waitomo.com/waitomo-glowworm-caves.aspx) and continued on the same day to Rotorua to do some zorbing! We also went to a geothermal park and saw a Maori cultural show.
After the visa got sorted we also had a go at the Skywalk at the top of the Auckland Sky Tower 192m up! www.skywalk.co.nz/ This was excellent but slightly scary as the wind was very strong from the storms and I did feel like I was going to be blown off the tower! All in all it was a great trip.
NZ was loads of fun and it barely felt like we were out of Australia. I can see why a lot of people refer to it as the 8th State. Zorbing was loads of fun and the Sky Walk was a little scary but really exciting.
The Chicken Cordon Bleu was an absolute credit to the airline.
