We ate a delicious breakfast at the Fortuna Restaurant at our hotel. Sky Tower Hotel is a beautiful absolutely beautiful. It has local art throughout the place. http://get.in2.net/index.php? is the link for the place. We decided to take a trip on the bus to the Auckland Museum.
http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/ It is a wonderful old building dedicated to the soldiers of New Zealand. We were guided by a Maori docent into the War Memorial area of the museum. We did see some extraordinary photographs by Lee Miller. She was a war correspondent through WWII. The museum also has a excellent Maori collection. We returned to the hotel to crash for a bit. David watched the Spurs Game in the bar. Go Spurs Go. Dea Jae and I walked down to the Victoria Park Market. This is a cute shopping experience filled with local art. It is a group of buildings that share an alley like road. http://www.victoria-park-market.co.nz/index.cfm
Tomorrow we start our "Big" tour. See Ya!

I love yours and Dea Jae's blogs. It really makes me feel like I am with you on the trip. Apparently Dad made it to New Zealand with everything intact.
