Our last few days in NZ were spent in Auckland. The only real big city in NZ. The first full day being the best as Dave got his wish to watch the final film in the Hobbit series here in NZ. We had looked earlier in the trip but nowhere was showing it so he didn't think he'd get the chance but luck would have it that one cinema out of Auckland City had it on. It also gave us a chance to further explore surrounding areas of the city. In the evening we were fortunate to be in town for the end of Chinese New Year celebtations. Lots and lots of Asian people live in Auckland. So we sat in Albert Park at 10:30pm for the fireworks display from the Sky Tower.
Gung Hai Fat Choi!
(Happy New Year in Chinese)

Seems you just can't get away from bingo - even in NZ
We ate Dunking Doughnuts to just help pass the time! Do you like Daves new hat? Not quite the Statue of Liberty!
The following day we went up the Sky Tower (tallest tower in the Southern Hemisphere, probably!)
We returned in the evening as well. This is from the bottom up
