The play area around the harbour is known as "the Viaduct" - this photo taken from our table at a sidewalk cafe. The restaurant was called "The Loaded Hog." It's pretty sedate here compared to Sydney. A lot of things are still closed for the holidays.

There are Irish pubs on just about every other street corner, however, and they make just enough noise to let you know the place isn't completely dead. We checked one out last night of course... Also had Indian food last night at the place reputed to be the best in Auckland. It was called "Oh Calcutta."
