Evening Walk..... around Auckland
- City of Sails

The fine weather had mesmerized me to take an evening walk after work. Immediately after i've changed from my office attire to a khakis pant and a polo shirt, I grab the camera burst of from the apartment to catch on with the nice weather before it's sunset. As summer is just few weeks to go, the day time here, seems to be longer than the night... yeah much longer!

On a narrow strip of land between two scenic habours, Auckland is surrounded by more sandy beaches and attractive islands than probably any other city in the world. This is why it's well-known as the "City of Sails". In less than 10 minutes walk i've reached to this stunning place, Viaduct Harbour. AwWw... i just cant wait to on my camera and start taking snapshot at the surroundings.

This is a good place to sit down and relax after a hectic work in the city centre. It's serene, peaceful and awesome... calm sea water with plenty of yatchs parked parallel along the long stretch harbour. Every corner you can find Cafe & Bar Restaurant, which crowded with working preofession who normally catch up a drink right after work. Just behind me was the backgroud of the busy city with the great view of the Sky Tower, which famous for its Bungy Jump & Casino.

Wow, sure looks serene here at the harbour! I guess all Asia Pacific/Oceania countries have this kinda thing - cafes, bars and restaurants by the water. Seems like the thing to do. It would certainly be lovely to try it eating there. Have you gone to any makan place by the harbour? Expensive or reasonably priced?
