Auckland is New Zealands largest city with over 1.5million residents. There are some unique things to see but don't stay too long! Best time to travel is summer Nov-Feb. Keep an eye on grabaseat.co.nz for cheap airfares over NZ. Or hire a 'Wiked' camper wiked.co.nz and drive the country. But don't drive in Auckland. Things to do: Bungy jump off Harbour Bridge, Ferry to Rangitoto(the volcano in the harbour), Take a day trip to Waiheke Island 30min ferry from city, If you want "culture" take a trip day/night to Ponsonby and Parnell both a 15 link bus ride or $10 taxi from cbd enjoy the restaurants, bars, cafes and unusual fashion specialist stores. Go to Mission Bay on the weekend and hire a kayak($17taxi). Listen to George FM 96.8 for nightlife info and good tunes ;)

Always have a bullet proof vest and a loaded firearm with you

Once the capital of New Zealand, Auckland is a large city in terms of surface area because everybody still has a dream of their own backyard and house. Hence the distances that must be travelled to find cheap homes and supplies are huge. Very little in the way of public transport except buses and the Britomart, if you don´t have a car it is difficult to get around. The domain, albert park, the war memorial museum, Mt Eden, One tree hill and Rangitoto, are just some of the attractions to see. Auckland is also known as the city of sails not because it hosted the Americas Cup but because one in 34 people had a boat from the 70´s (Auckland had a population of approx. 800 000).

Auckland is home to both domestic and international airports. Aucklands has coolest attractions around- they are Kelly Tarltons, and others.

When you go to Auckland be sure to visit the Auckland Skytower as its amazing going to the top of the tower in the glass elevator!
