NZ trip: Auckland Museum and Sky Tower

Catch the ferry with Jo to Auckland.

Walk to Auckland Museum, catching some sculptures on the way.

Auckland Museum is pretty good, having a reasonly organised collection of Maori artifacts. The highlight of the Auckland Museum was the Volcano exhibition, which included a (literally) room-shaking multimedia Volcano simulation (like an earthquake machine, but better).

Next we wandered over to Sky Tower. The view was pretty good, despite being a rather grey day. Many people had trouble walking on the transparent flooring (including in the lift).

Bill was tempted to do the Sky Jump, but piked.
