Our trip went smoothly - we even managed to sleep on the way so, though stiff and sore, managed to make it through most of the first day in Auckland. Rained off and on, but we walked quite a lot, and took a tour of Devenport across the bay, so that we could view the city from above and away.

For dinner we stopped into a Belgian pub and dined on (you guessed it!) mussels! I want to share a photo, if I can figure out how to do it, of these beauties.
