Another very good reason to be in Auckland last week, was to which the cricket test match of New Zealand V England. Disappointingly England continued their poor run away from home with another loss here, though in parts the match was intriguing despite being disrupted by the rainy weather.

Others sight worth noting were the skytower, shown here contrasting with the town hall. There was alot going on down by the water front too, with an arts festival on with numerous events on at Silo Park, which is worth checking out.
