Acro MCR - Around Auckland

View to the NE from Quadrant Hotel	31st Aug. The Northern Steamship Co. - where the standard lamps hang from the ceiling	And the fire alarms go off forcing us outside. The pub is now forever known as 'The Fire Alarm'	Yes, it's Auckland.
8th Sept. View from Rupert's new hotel - The Sebel	8th Sept. A rare sunny view from the Quadrant Hotel		A nearby park where the sprawling trees need help keeping up
Auckland Ferry Terminal		Steinlager KZ1 - the boat that wrested The Americas Cup from the Americans (er, not quite true: it lost on sea, won in court, lost on appeal, won next appeal & lost on final appeal.)	9th Sept. Paul D. gets out
The Sky Tower	Paul D. in the Sky Tower
Looking futher East...	...and further West	I'll have to check with Paul which way this was...	...and, hang on, I'm getting giddy.
	What New Zealand is famous for	Step this way...	...don't push, no! Stop! Too late
down you go	Could you clean the windows while you're out there?	The Quadrant is mostly hidden at the top of the green park.	Here's a close up to help you, the two blocks are connected.
	Eden Park	The Cloud	Auckland Harbour Bridge
I bet there's a long queue to get in & out of here in the Summer	You can just see 'Steinlager' between the buildings - it's on dry land on a cradle		Ah, Paul does a good cu of the Quadrant
10th Sept. Morning mist	11th Sept. Auckland is renowned for steep roads & paths, & rain. The two together [or "combination", for pedants] can be tricky. ;-)
Queens Quay	The cloud, appropriately in the rain
Steinlager again		13th Sept. The Cloud. It may look sunny but the ground is still wet.
			SNG 2 at Princes Wharf


		Sunset 19th Sept.	Sunset 19th Sept.
20th Sept.	More views of the Quadrant from Sky Tower	Who's got the best zoom then?	Mt Victoria
Albert Park & Grafton University grounds	Victoria Street	Victoria Street	Vulcan Lane
Three Pubs in a row, The Occidental...	...The Queens Ferry Hotel & O'Carroll's Freehouse in between them	Another sunset	Sept. 23rd. A rival uplink next to our hotel
Are they trying to bounce a signal off the wall?	Proof that you do get some sunny days in Auckland	28th Sept: Gunay & Gary on Princes Wharf...	...and Gabriel ready for a 'live'
'So far from Home' (sorry, Southampton Morris Dancers in joke)
