Our last day in Auckland was a well earned day off, sightseeing. We caught the ferry over to Rangitoto Island - a dormant volcano - and then our singers raced each other to get to the top. We also enjoyed exploring the caves and several geographers among us were fascinated by the black volcanic rock.
Everyone was hungry when we arrived back in Auckland and the singers enjoyed finding their own lunch and doing some shopping, while the tour adults enjoyed an excellent lunch in an Italian bakery.
We met up at 4pm to go up the Sky Tower from where we enjoyed amazing views over Auckland and also seeing our competition venues & hotel from the sky.
