Auckland #2 - The Sky Tower and Ice Bar.Mar 3, 2005

The tower painted lilac by the lights at the bottom, looked like...
From the base..
Auckland from miles up!
Didn't really get to see much of Auckland, just did a bit of shopping - bought 2 watches cos I couldn't decide on one! ;o)
Went up the Sky tower which was pretty similar to all the other towers really, just looked nicer cos it was illuminated with really bright Lilac lights. Looked surreal, poking out of the skyline - looked like a rocket had just landed.
Then went to the Ice bar which was a bar made TOTALLY of ice. The only thing that wasn't ice was the floor,the ceiling and the seat covers! REALLY cold though - minus 5 degrees. You think 15 minutes isn't long enough but after 10 you're like BRRRRRRR! Had 2 drinks which tasted like pure vodka with some thick mango stuff in it. Didn't really feel it until you walked outside into the warm and THEN it hits you - WOOOOAAAAH!
