Rain is falling – Auckland Winter Days

This weather! What to do in Auckland on a rainy day? Everyone knows Auckland has four seasons in one day. Its true, I can put my hand on my heart and say it can start hailing in summer just as fast as the sun can come out and burn you in winter. I searched the internet also to confirm that this is actually a thing and yes, Google tells me its true, who am I to argue with Google?

Now that winter has reared its ugly head and seems to have settled in for the coming months a visit to the zoo is out of the question as is a beer down at Mission bay, what do we do on these miserable weekends?

Get Ya Skates On

Ice skating at Aotea Square, what will they think of next? This is pure Auckland! What other city thinks they have the right to do something like this?

This has been an annual winter family activity for a few years now but it wasn’t until last night I finally managed to get there.

Auckland Waterfront Change?

Has anyone not heard about all the change about to go down at the Auckland waterfront?

There has been a lot happen already and stacks of news on this subject recently. As the Auckland waterfront (in particular Wynyard Quarter) is one of my favourite spots I decided to do some research….I didnt have to go far.

All you need to jump on the Your Waterfront website and see what is going on in your city.

Auckland Parking – Not Your Problem

Everyone knows that parking in Auckland city is horrible. There are no car parks, everywhere is full or its too expensive. WRONG!!! Read on to find out where to park….all the hard work is done for you.

Ellie Goulding – Vector Arena – Review

Ellie Goulding kicked off  her second New Zealand tour on Saturday night with a performance at Auckland’s Vector Arena .

Vector Arena was set up with a free flow crowd system where a ticket to the show got the viewer access to any seat and the entire floor area. Seats were on a first in first served basis and filled up fast. That left the rest of us to join the swarm on the floor which was good for the tall people, not so much for the shorties. There was plenty of room for fans to move and dance with no pushing and shoving, I am glad to see the event was not over sold.

Crowns up – The Royal Crusade

One great thing about Auckland is the amount of events that unknowingly happen each weekend. You actually need to search out events though, if you are not in the right circle or don’t know where to find out what is on then you will get left behind. I was fortunate enough to be in the right circle to hear about the Palace Dance Studio performing The Royal Crusade show.

This was a fundraising event for the three time world champions as they prepare to head back to Las Vegas to perform at the World Hip Hop Championships. All the crews from The Palace performed – Bubblegum, Duchesses, Sorority, ReQuest and The Royal Family.
