big tower

we have been up the auckland sky tower today! s'very high and we managed to get backpacker discount which made us happy. got really good views of all the sights and stood on a glass floor! there is the facility to bungy off the top, so every now and then people would drop past the window, which, especially on the first occasion, was very alarming! more importantly we visited the cafe for a latte and muffin! auckland is much cheaper than sydney (thank god) so we can afford to do nice things like stop for coffee and cake!!

in the afternoon we walked to a suberb (the oldest suberb in auckland actually) called Parnell where lucy used to live 10 years ago. we found the old house and school and descreetly (don't want people to think we're weird) took some piccys. it was a really long way there and back so we were glad to chill when we got back!
