Auckland

On Queen Street, one of the main roads in Auckland

On our city day trip we had a stop at the Victoria Park Market as well. A historic building with a lot of small and nice shops.
The Celebrity Walk
of Fame (a part of Victoria Park Market) was opened by Sir Robert Muldoon on July 12 1984. Originally it was the old horse ramp that leads between the Stable buildings and the courtyard. Since its opening many outstanding New Zealanders have been honoured by placing their hands, feet, or a combination of both, in cement. Some of the famous personalities and sportsmen and women have been Sir Edmund Hillary, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Billy T James, Sir Robert Muldoon, John Walker, Rachel Hunter, David McPhail and Jon Gadsby to name but a few. Their imprints attract visitors who can't resist comparing their own hand and footprints with these great New Zealanders (below).

One of the 48 volcanoes Auckland is built on. Mt Eden, very windy and nearly no view. Take a look at the movie I enclosed.
