City views

Had a lovely day out today up to the City.. Did a bit of retail therapy, to get some boxing day bargains.. then on to a beautiful Japanese restaurant and had the most amazing lunch.. Then took the scenic route home to get some views of our beautiful City of Sails... This is the view from St Johns looking back towards Mission Bay and the City and Sky Tower... and of course I had to get a shot of my favourite Pohutukawa tree as well... It was also a bit of a hoot today as we got interviewed for the news and my Sister and I have just been on TV... asked us what we thought about people putting unwanted gifts on Trademe / Ebay...

Really? What channel? John was watching the cricket till 6.30 so I wasn't watching! Love the bright scarlet of the pohutukawa against the sparkle of the harbour!
