    Uhhhh not really sure, every thing is so fuggen dear, we like to just poke around, MOTAT and the zoo ant the Sky Tower will probably take a day, My Lady may want to take a wine tour or look around the shops, I'm not really into touristy stuff, its like its too fake or something. Free stuff is cool, Im dead keen to have a crack at the tunnels under Albert Park, but I doubt I would be allowed even if I could.
    I would like to see the landmarks, one tree hill, rangitoto, devenport, south auckland ect....., we are not big on schedules and rush rush, so will most likely decide on the day

    Then you need to check out North Head,it hasn't been open to the public for very long....you can explore the tunnels and gun emplacements,check out the view.It's a really cool place,and you can walk there from Devenport.Do MOTAT for sure,doodle around the lake....you can walk around Panmure Basin too....check out the lesser cones,away from the tourists at Mt Eden and One Tree Hill,like Mt Wellington or Mangere Mountain.

    theres some really cool tunnels and stuff on the otago peninsula too, not just the Dissapearing gun, but other ones full of water and dead sheep and stuff

    I read about North Head on the net a while ago, I figured I'd have to resort to some clandistine manovers to get at the good stuff. Is it all open now? how much does it cost to get in?

    I might seem a bit tight but it seems that it always costs $30-$50 every time you get out of the car while on holiday

    Quest Hotel on Queen St is strategically located right in the middle of the CBD in a walking distance to anywhere and the prices are reasonable.
    Located next door from the White House if you'll have second thoughts

Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

    There are gun emplacements and tunnells on Waiheke Island at Stoney Batter too- I won't tell you how we used to ride in the tunnels on our XR's,up and down the staircases too....the safety Nazi's will be onto me for sure.North Head is free,or was a couple years ago when I was there last.It would take an afternoon to take the whole thing in,and you'll need a torch,and a 10 year old kid is handy to have along too....they can get lost,ambush you,flatten the batteries in the torch and finally fall off the cliff face.
