Big smoke

Had a couple of days in Auckland playing lady wife while The Mister spoke at a Microsoft conference. Well, wasn’t really playing ladies as I went into work – got to spend some time in the Auckland office for the first time.

Compared to Wellington, Auckland is so busy and warm and there seems to be plenty of money about still – lots of flash cars and people out drinking coffee. Including us – just HAD to stop at this outdoor cafe that had orange umbrellas – not only the orange but the ability to sit outside and not freeze or get blown away! Plus they had cinnamon buns.

Called into the Ruby store on High Street – didn’t even look at the clothes – got distracted making kissy noises at the 2 orange canaries they had!

I still get a buzz out of seeing the Sky Tower whenever we’re up there – it was practically Xero blue on this visit!
