A coast-to-coast bike ride . . . doesn’t that sound cool? I’ll just say it was similar to the one in Queenstown, though not quite as bad, and not nearly as long; 16km, from the Tasman sea on the west coast to the Pacific on the east, through many large beautiful parks (or ‘Domains’ as they are called in Auckland), up and down, repeat. It was definitely a great way to see the sights of Auckland, including Mount Eden, a dormant volcano and the second highest point in Auckland, with great views of the city and the harbour.

Ryan planned a special dinner at the top of the Sky Tower for the last night of our honeymoon. How fitting that our last meal was in a revolving restaurant at the top of the city…it’s unbelievable how quickly these three months have passed!  We went up to the observation deck to see the sunset and then headed up another floor to a delicious dinner.
