So towards the beginning of the week, I knew that my weekend would be kind of terrible compared to last weekend. I have a few essays to write (still haven't started) and we all decided to stay in Auckland for the weekend. Luckily, we all decided Friday would be a great time to actually go up into the Skytower. It turned out to be the most perfect and clear night to do this. Quite possibly one of the coolest restaurants that I've eaten in, Orbit was unbelievable. We made reservations for 5 30 and made it just in time. The cool thing about eating in the restaurant is that the normal admission price up to the viewing area -i think its $15- is waived if you order $30 or more at dinner. We all managed to order more than thirty dollars, and we tried to savor the ride and the food for the allotted two hours. The outer edge of the restaurant constantly moves 360 degrees an hour. It was odd sitting still in one place and having the shadows move around you, but the views were amazing.
Aside from Friday though, this weekend has been pretty relaxing. Just been doing some studying, sat around Albert Park today, and will hopefully get started on my essays tomorrow.(Sunday). Here are some pictures from dinner:
If you look in the foreground of Ragitoto, you'll see Mt. Victoria, where I climbed before exploring Devonport for a night.

The Skytower casts a huge shadow over Albert Park as the sun sets. Just to the right of the skytower's shadow you'll see the Clock Tower, a white building that is part of the University.
Auckland Harbor Bridge
mmmm so good.
