All around, there is no big building, but when you go in the heart of the center, near the sea and the ferrys, you can find some big building as we used to see in big city !
Yeah there is a lot of ferrys to go to the islands around and to the north of Auckland. I will certainly take one when I will visit the islands around Auckland... I hope ! =)
There is a lot of parks in Auckland, I was walking on the one near the building where I work and saw this amazing tree. He was really impressive.
Hey old tree, how old are you ?
