Day 127 - Auckland, New Zealand

Day 127 – 13th October 2005 +12:00 GMT

Headed across the city to Victoria Market and Victoria Park, we had a look around at all the market stands and shops, then sat down for a full breakfast and some lovely hot chocolate.


Victoria Market

We spent about an hour in the market then walked across Victoria Park and up to Viaduct Harbour where all the expensive boats are anchored.


Viaduct Harbour

We then walked along Princess Wharf which has the hotel in a shape of a boat on it and then back along through town to the hotel.

I had a nap for a couple of hours and then decided I would try my luck again at the casino, I spent about 3 hours playing blackjack and roulette, found I could correctly card count an 8 deck shoe of cards and played perfectly.


Sky City Casino

I then went back to the hotel and grabbed Jill and we went into the city centre again to look for a restaurant, We ended up at Wagamama where I had a great dish of Chicken, Prawns, Japanese fishcakes, peppers and onions with noodles covered in ginger. After we ate Jill and I just headed back to the hotel and watched the television for the night.
