Auckland
Auckland City
Arriving in the morning at Auckland International Airport +1 day @ 10:00 AM with Jetstar Airlines layoff in Singapore for 7 hours with total flying time 14 hours, 3 hours for Jakarta-Singapore leg and 11 hours for Singapore-Auckland.
Once we arrive after clear the imigration, we heading straight to the simcard booth to buy data package for internet connectionand then go to Thrifty Rental car to pick up car to accompany us for 1.800km in 12 days that we already booked thru internet earlier, and its white corrolla. Just need english translation license driver and also we took an insurance of car rent for peace of mind :), it applied for car accident coverage and excess reduction of own risk which is so expensive in there.
Kelly Tarlton Underwater World
The concept just like Seaworld in Ancol, set on the waterfront of Auckland City on Okahu Bay, just moments from the famous Mission Bay beach, showcases over 30 live animal exhibits, from over 80 different species in habitat displays, including the Antarctic penguin colony exhibit and amazing underwater viewing tunnels.
Sky Tower
At 328 metres, it is the tallest man-made structure in New Zealand and offers breathtaking views for up to 80 kilometres in every direction. You can also skyjump from up here or walk at the outside ot the tower up there.
Expensive ticket parking in here 31.5 dollar, luckily it have discounted price if we shopping in there or went to the Sky Observatorium, even at discounted price 5 dollar its still expensive comparing to Jakarta that only 2000 rupiah :).
Sleeps at Silver Oaks Inn Manukau
First time sleep with the sky still bright on, even @ 10PM.
