We have attended office Christmas parties in
Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland this year.
 |
| Auckland shopping |
Each location was vying to see who could impress most
to have the most fun on a limited budget.
It was great to see how different each event was.
 |
| Auckland Symphony Orchestra carols at the Town Hall |
But that’s where we went and what we ate!!
 |
| Roadside sculpture Auckland |
It was fantastic, although rather too much
like corporate speed dating for me.
to talk to people I’d never met before
before the next song drowned out all hope of conversation.
 |
| Albert Park, Auckland |
 |
| New Zealand’s christmas pohutakawa flower bursts forth |
The Violent Femmes – who?
 |
| Christmas cake display Langham hotel, Auckland |
I know, I know all you Aussies and Americans are shouting
What? where were you?
I must have been under a
Blondie rock at the time…
Just ‘beam me up Scottie’!
 |
| Auckland’s Sky Tower dominates the city |
Auckland is a great, if somewhat hilly, place to explore.
From the fabulous Light Show at the Auckland Art Gallery
to Auckland Symphony Orchestra carols at the Town Hall.
We had a blast!
 |
| Auckland harbour side |
Oh and the office Christmas party?
Auckland decided to go sophisticated
with dinner at the harbour
Perfect!
