Our Mystery Tour of Auckland

Last week we took part in a mystery tour of Auckland to experience some of the things that visitors to New Zealand might see during the Rugby World Cup.


First stop on the tour was Mission Bay where we sat down to sketch a famous Auckland landmark: Rangitoto.


At Bastion Point we found out about New Zealand's first Labour Prime Minister: Michael Joseph Savage. We also got a great view of the Harbour Bridge and a container ship coming into the ports.


At Wynyard Quarter we had traditional fish n chips for lunch at the Auckland Fish Market, while watching the trams go past.


Next it was time to check out the playground at Wynyard Quarter. We'd never experienced a playground quite like it!


We were incredibly lucky to go inside Eden Park and have our questions answered by an expert.

It was a truly awesome day!
