Still I think the Viaduct was a reasonable start, it needs a little something else though that might bring it together, not sure what though (I think a waterfront stadium might have done it perhaps….)

Re: Auckland – I guess that’s what has taken me a long time to get used to. The reason I love Welly is because everything is inside the CBD… Beaches, bays, and wineries sound very very good compared to wind, politicians, and more wind…

Was a huge learning experience for me so thanks! BTW, Auckland is a pretty nice place, but it’s outside of the CBD that makes it great, places like Ponsonby, Waiheke, Devonport, Howick Village, Kumeu and all the bays, beaches and wineries.
