Tour of Ports of Auckland & Diwali Festival

Today we headed over to the city for the annual Diwali festival. Whilst wandering around we stumbled upon the open day for Ports of Auckland and a free bus tour around the normally out of bounds port. It was an interesting tour and good to see a working port in action. They also showed us Queens Wharf, the area that has just been sold back to the council and is to become "Party Central" for the Rugby World Cup in 2011. As a secure area we could not take photos so a library photo from the internet.


Diwali was once again a great festival and after listening to John Key give the opening speech, we indulged in some yummy Indian food.
