The Skytower in Auckland (pronounced just like "Oakland") is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere. We can see it from our hotel room. We headed over to check it out first thing this morning.

BTW: Very green here - and the weather's great - sunny and 80s. We lucked out: they're telling us it rained the past two weeks while the "cyclone" blew past.

BTW: We've been here just a day, but we've got a good one for you already: KFC is called "Kiwi For Chicken."
