Today we headed into town to finally get onto Queens Wharf to see the Cloud and RWC Fan Zone. The giant rugby ball has toured the world over the past few years as a tourism promotion for NZ. We chose not to queue to go in here as very busy.
The Cloud was built especially for the World Cup and is quite an impressive structure. Not sure if this is going to stay after the tournament.
Inside the Cloud are signed shirts from the small rugby clubs all around the country and also innovations from NZ.
Also on the Wharf is a stage for local bands to entertain the crowds - no-one playing when we were there.
Whilst the old shed that used to hold imported bananas has been converted to a huge bar area.
Just down from Queens Wharf is the temporary Maori village and the controversial $2m plastic waka.
