The Auckland
region offers everything one would wish from
such an
environment. Usually can get a park
at the waterfront downtown.Turn off Motorway on Fanshawe Street and
follow all the way through to the end at Quay Street, turn left and
park in the America's Cup Village Marina Parking lot.Good idea to pick
up an Auckland map at the airport. You can park right by the Museum
and enjoy the city for $6.00. Have a stroll around the waterfront area
where the America's Cup Race was staged. The best way to tour the inner
city is to take the free bright red "City Circuit" bus that runs every
10 minutes.

in the Southern Hemisphere. You can base jump 630 feet (192m) falling

Wharf will provide you with plenty of bars,
restaurants and shops but if that is not enough shops be sure
to go to Victoria park Market with over 85 shops handling just about
