Standing tall with Sky Tower #traveloguenz

Auckland gye aur sky tower nahi dekha to kuch nahi dekha

The major attraction of Auckland city  is Sky Tower .

Standing tall at 328 meters -taller than Eiffel tower of Paris , the Sky Tower of Auckland  is  an icon of Auckland’s sky line for more than 20 years.  It gives 360 degree view of Auckland up to 80km in all directions .

I got  a ticket for 32 dollars and reached to the top of the building in the evening around 4 pm. I had not expected  it  to be so amazing . The view from the top was just mesmerizing -something that my eyes didn’t  want to even blink it away .

Read my wonderful experience of a beautiful island

The sky tower has a circular platform on the top covered with glass from where you can have full view of the whole Auckland . Watching the tallest buildings appearing  so small , watching the famous harbour bridge , the far away islands , the scenic view of the sea and the ferries , from such a great height makes the Sky Tower experience very exciting .skytower

Apart from glass boundaries , there are glass floors also at few parts where I really had to gather lot of courage to step on and watch the road 328 metres down . That makes around 1076 feet . Quite high ! No ?

Sunset view from the top

Well as time passed ,the sun started turning red and it was a beautiful experience watching sunset in Auckland from one of the tallest monuments . Along with the sunset , the city got lightened up which made the view even more majestic .

You can’t miss Devonport 

Activities at Sky Tower, Auckland :

The sky tower offers  adventure activities like sky jump and sky walk also . For  people living with the mantra ‘life is an adventure ‘ these prove to be very thrilling . My heart was thumping high  watching people do those thrills but I couldn’t dare myself . Well may be next time .

There is a lot other what you can do . Thers is a big casino where you can try your luck and also you can enjoy  superb dining  .

It was the first time that I got a chance to visit a casino . The environment there was totally new to me -even more advanced than what I have seen in some movies . It was a whole new world for me . All could be seen drinking ,  enjoying with the loud music  & playing with their dollars.

Coming out of the tower I also saw a   Sky Tower souvenir shop also where you can buy gifts for your loved ones .

Visiting Sky Tower in Auckland was an unforgettable experience for me . I feel lucky to have visited the   25th tallest tower of  the world ,The Sky Tower. Selfie to banti hai !

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...

Why do I write ?

 I have been writing a blog for the last five years and many times people question me why do i write . Well ! I don't have an exact answer . But whenever someone has asked me this question ' Why do you write ?' i have answered in the form of some question only like 'Why do you go shopping ?' or 'Why do you love to  go  on vacation?'  Actually the basic answer is that it feels good . It makes me happy , contented and also a little proud of myself . The feeling when i boasted about being an author is incomparable . May be you don't read me but I keep writing for myself - to reflect on my life experiences and learn from them. Earlier i used to feel depressed when people didn't read me but now it's just between me and my blog . Writing  helps me connect to my creative side and helps increase my vocabulary also. Writing provides an escape when reality becomes too complex. I like to write because it allows me to focus on a subject  and helps me relieve...
