Wondering about Parnell and Queens Streets – Auckland

Last day in Auckland was spent wondering down two of the main shopping streets. Parnell especially was full of small shops and cafes without a chain store in sight.

If you are ever bored in Auckland then go the bottom of the Sky Tower and then to the small Irish Pub across the street. At the Fidler Pub you can get a pint and a Toastie (toasted sandwhich) for $8.50. Take one of the two outside tables and then watch the people dive off the top of the Sky Tower. They are on cables but you wouldn’t know it for the screaming.
