I thought we were finished with Auckland, but not so! Here are the FINAL glimpses:
On our last day, we took a walk around the Domain and visited the Winter Gardens, Victorian hothouses. There is really an amazing array of plants and flowers.
And wasn't it nice for Auckland to have one more festival on our last weekend? This time it was Japan Day. We saw a few performers who came from Japan for the festival and some interesting food before we had to head to the airport.
Goodbye, New Zealand! It's been a FANTASTIC adventure! Now on to Hong Kong!
