Catch up New Zealand Tower

Catch up New Zealand Tower

Travelling to New Zealand is like a dream come true😍. Seeing the tower in New Zealand makes you feel like its over😍. I have been in Guangzhou Tower in China many times but it's quite different seeing the tower in New Zealand. You have to try travelling different countries and compare different places inside the country. I love to travel around the world......❤️

Dormant volcanoes and city views in Auckland!

Auckland was certainly not my favorite city in the world, but it had some pretty gems! Check out the deets below to check what you should hit up 👌 Getting There - Auckland Airport is the oblivious choice here and there’s public transport options to take from the airport to the city. I opted for the $18 skydrive bus as it only took 40 minutes to reach the CBD. Attractions - 1️⃣ Take the short ferry ride to Devonport and walk up to Victoria Summit for great views of the city at sunset 🌅2️⃣Take a slightly longer ferry ride to Rangitoto Island and hike up to the summit of the dormant volcano for more breathtaking views! (Be sure to check the ferry schedule to this island as it’s not very frequent and you don’t want to get stuck!) 3️⃣ Check out Mount Eden to see the skyline from a different perspective (Auckland has a lot of dormant volcanoes to hike 😂)4️⃣ Explore the CBD and check out the architecture and if you want to, go up the top of the sky tower (I didn’t as I didn’t think it was worth the price when the city has so many hills and mountains to climb up). Hotels - I stayed in the Holiday Inn Express Auckland City and it was great. It had good sound insulation, big rooms and wonderful buffet style breakfast! 🏩 Food & Restaurants - There are lots of food options in the city and to be honest I didn’t eat much as I was so full from my hotel breakfast. But one place I would recommend is the Seafood Collective 🐟at Mt Eden. They have excellent fish and chips and, coming from Ireland, I was very impressed. Shopping 🛍️ - Check out the Dress Smart outlets near Onehunga. It’s easy to reach by bus number 30 from the downtown and they have some really good deals for well known brands. Downtown on Queen Street you’ll find the farmers department store which is also pretty good! #trip #newzealand #mytravelhacks #auckland #instatravel #travel #nature #city #city #explore #photography #historicallandmarks #travelinspiration

A Dialogue with the Ocean in Auckland

A Dialogue with the Ocean in Auckland

Fishing Tales: At five in the morning, Auckland's sky was still draped in a deep blue curtain, the dock lights casting a warm yellow glow in the humid air. Standing on the deck of the yacht, I was met by the salty sea breeze, mingled with the scent of diesel and fish. In the distance, a few seagulls circled in the darkness, their calls echoing clearly. This was my first time sea fishing in Auckland. Captain Mark, my companion, was a typical Kiwi, his bronze skin etched with wrinkles, resembling a reef weathered by the sea. He skillfully untied the mooring ropes, the roar of the engine shattering the morning calm. "It's a good day," he winked at me, "Hopefully you'll catch a kingfish." The yacht slowly sailed out of the harbor, the sky beginning to show the first signs of dawn. I noticed the fishing rods neatly arranged on the stern rack, gleaming coldly in the morning light. Mark steered the boat while explaining the day's plan: "We'll try our luck offshore first, where kingfish are often found. If we're out of luck, we'll go to the reef area for snapper." As the sun rose, the sea surface gradually took on a golden hue. I held the fishing rod, feeling the undulation of the waves. Mark taught me to cast the bait far out, then slowly reel it in. "Be patient," he said, "Fishing is like having a conversation with the ocean, you need to listen carefully." Suddenly, the fishing rod dipped sharply, my heart instantly racing. "You've got a bite!" Mark shouted. I gripped the rod tightly, feeling the immense pull from the other end. It was a tug-of-war between man and fish, the fishing line tracing graceful arcs on the sea surface. After nearly ten minutes of struggle, a shimmering silver kingfish finally broke the surface, flashing enchantingly in the sunlight. At noon, we enjoyed a simple lunch on the deck. Mark took out sandwiches from the cooler, while I opened the coffee I had bought at the dock that morning. The sea breeze was gentle, and in the distance, other fishing boats were scattered like stars on the sea. At that moment, I seemed to understand why New Zealanders are so passionate about sea fishing – it's not just a sport, but a way to communicate with nature. The afternoon's harvest was equally bountiful. We caught several sizable snapper, and a few colorful kahawai. Mark said these fish were enough for us to make a sumptuous seafood dinner that evening. As the sun began to set, we started our journey back. Golden ripples shimmered on the sea surface, and the distant sky was painted pink. Standing at the bow, I watched the Auckland skyline gradually come into focus, savoring the day's experiences. Sea fishing not only brought me a delicious catch, but also allowed me to experience the joy of being in harmony with nature. Back at the dock, Mark began to clean the day's catch. He expertly handled the fish, while sharing various sea fishing techniques with me. "Remember," he said, "Every time you go out to sea is a new adventure, you never know what will happen next." As night fell, I walked home with a cooler full of fish. The streetlights were already on, and the aroma of grilled fish wafted through the air. That day, I not only gained delicious seafood, but also an unforgettable memory of the ocean. In Auckland, sea fishing is not just a leisure activity, but a reflection of a lifestyle, a wisdom of living in harmony with nature.

Christmas in Auckland

#2023travelwish Christmas in Auckland in 2022 is my most unforgettable travel. I’m here right now meeting my little nephew for the first time and I’ll wish to come back every year if I can! And there’s so much to see, smell and eat here. Take a walk around Auckland Domain and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful blooms at Wintergardens. Get culturally infused at the Auckland Art Gallery, War Memorial and catch a movie at Silo Park. There’s an abundance of cuisine here that will surely suit everyone's taste bud as well! So no worries for gourmands. My trip is coming to an end and all I wish for Christmas is to come back to Auckland in 2023 as there’s so much more to explore! Perhaps a trip to the South Island this time.#2023travelwish ##celebratewithtrip #urbanexplorer #summervacation #awesomepic

Christmas Decoration Hunting in Auckland

#christmas2023 #vianasjourney Christmas is certainly filled with colourful lights and bright decorations. So today on my short stay in Auckland, I spent the time I had to capture some decorations that stand out in the city area. I was hoping to see more fun and colourful decorations but I wasn’t lucky time. Once happy with my pictures, I get myself some boiled mussels with white wine and creamy sauce at The Occidental. It was a nice way to end the day.

Auckland City Scape

Auckland is a multicultural urban oasis of arts and culture, food and activities. Getting to the city via the ferry is a great way to start exploring the city. Starting from Queen's Wharf, make your way to the city's main thoroughfare, Queen's Street which bustles with shoppers. The street is the city's cultural gem filled with a host of unique eateries and stores. A great way to explore is by foot, but be sure to wear very comfy shoes as the undulating streets can prove tiring to some.#auckland #urbanexplorer #summervacation
