Back in Auckland, Sky Tower





Here we are back in Auckland and up in the Sky Tower, the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere (328m). We made dinner reservations for 9pm and went up to the observation deck early to watch the sunset. It was really high and really scary. They even had glass windows in the floor so you could stand on them and look down at the ground. People actually bungy jump off the Sky Tower! I couldn't believe it! I couldn't even watch the video of the people bungy jumping.


Dinner was excellent and the floor in the outer section of the restaurant rotated slowly so we got to see all the way around the Sky Tower while we ate. I guess it makes one complete revolution an hour. We were there for two hours so we revolved twice. We were even lucky enough to catch the holiday weekend firework show on the harbor side as we revolved.
