I spent one night in Auckland on my way from Samoa to French Polynesia – just enough to catch a little glimpse of the city. I was lucky that it was a nice and sunny day, so I directly set off to explore the city center. Some old buildings, the cool new Sky Tower and lots of nice food options!! I like!

I guess it has been a while that I had been to a proper city (Singapore in July?), so I ended up really liking Auckland with all its amenities. I definitely spent a lot of money on food here! Haha. My favourite part of Auckland was the harbour though! I always like harbours and the one of Auckland is really pretty.

I walked along the water quite a bit, past inviting cafes, luxurious yachts and an arts center, until I had a view of the harbour bridge.

I considered taking a ferry somewhere for a bit, but ended up having to cut my visit short since I was just toooo tired! I had to wake up at 3 am the night before and didn’t really get much sleep at all. I guess I’ll just have to come back and see more of Auckland – and New Zealand for that matter – another day.
