Given the harbour cruise cost was only NZ$18 (about US$12), it was only an hour out of the entire day, involved a fair amount of seating and offered views of the place we wouldn't otherwise see, Tubby sprung for a harbour cruise thing. By telling them I was an infant, he didn't even have to pay for me -- bonus!

Greenpeace apparently arrived in town a few days ago for something or another. But not sure what. The Raraki, built in Glasgow circa 1880, and is steel-hulled ship, made with rivets, no welding. NZL 40 raced in one of the America's Cup races; NZL 41 was the not-needed backup boat.
One of the larger harbours, and darn close to the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Bungee jumping! About 43 meters (call it 140 feet) off the water, the jumpers leap from... ... a metal pod that's located under the bridge. When they're done, a magnet pulls 'em back up.
Well, you didn't think you'd escape a page without at least one picture of me, did you? The cargo port is up and running on a 24x7 schedule; they are quite the busy little port, eh? The Ferry Building today isn't quite the largest building on the water, but it's still the prettier of the lot.
