(For more details, hover cursor over the picture. No, that isn't me doing the Sky Jump; I'll do that in a few days. By the way, there is nothing quite like sitting in the Auckland Sky Lounge, enjoying an afternoon coffee as one looks out at the skyline... which is suddenly interrupted by a figure suspended in midair, giving a thumbs up before suddenly plummeting to earth.)

My first sight of New Zealand; I loved having an immediate look at Maori artwork.

A closer view.

I left the airport just as the sun was rising.

No idea what this is; I'm lucky it didn't make a grab for me.

I'm a little discourages that this picture doesn't do a better job of showing just how steep this hillside- that I had just scrambled straight up- really was.

A view from the boat; the hill from the previous pic is in the background. Reminds me of Weathertop, actually.

Clearly, New Zealand *is* Middle-earth, complete with ents.

The Sky Tower, taken from in front of the place where I've been staying.

A closer view; the cable at left is for the Sky Jump...

...as shown here...

...and here. Avanti!
