Second Day in Auckland

Woke up to a beautiful sunny morning over Auckland. Attempted to wash some clothes in the hotel room washing machine and was confounded by the number of buttons and instructions needed to wash a t-shirt, two pairs of socks and some underwear.

Auckland is a cool city and it is surreal to see so many Maori girls dressed in trendy clothes looking very European except, that most of them are my height and look like they could easily take me in an arm wrestling match. It is refreshing to see that the culture and world of these original inhabitants is ever present in the art and every day existence in this city. This morning I watched a channel dedicated to Maori art and dance and their presence and impact is evident everywhere you go.

Good to see.
