After we went to the centre of Auckland looing around the shops, harbour and went up the skytower, this had amzing views of Auckland. We then had...

On our way there we got to see a school of dolphins surrounding our boat it was the most we've ever seen and we didn't have to pay to see them! When we arrived at the volcano it was strange seeing a live volcano, there was boiling mud and smoke bubbling up from the ground and big craters filled with boiling hot water. We had a tour of the is...
