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 !

Zoozoozoo : A journey

 Today is Sunday ,  May 1st 2022 and yesterday i was invited to my daughter's school to witness a small function.  My daughter Suhani was born in 2007 and the day clearly flashes in front of my eyes when she got on to the auditorium stage for her first annual function during her LKG class . I had dressed her up in a beautiful purple frock . The auditorium echoed  with the sounds of claps as the team LKG stepped on to the stage and took their positions as couples . Their teacher had blushed  everyone's cheeks pink and golden. The song started 'Zoozoozoo......we welcome you ......' and the kiddos started twisting their hips and legs holding on to their partners . Awww...it was such an adorable performance that a mother couldn't control her tears .  Watching some  kids who forgot their dance steps and wanted to just run here and there on the stage was fun too !  Yesterday was the day when she again marched  on to the auditorium,  this time ...

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...

Mindfulness ki Aisi ki Taisi

 Two years ago I had written two posts about mindfulness on my blog . One was about what mindfulness is and other exclusively  about food mindfulness. Food mindfulness suggests that one gets conscious of one's food plate - check if the ingredients are high in carbs or low in proteins , check if you are consuming more sugary foods , keep a check that your breakfast plate should me fullest and dinner plate the lightest . There's lot to be checked you know . But point is that if i keep checking all this stuff ,how do i enjoy food ?  What's the harm if my cheese is  served as paneer butter masala ? Won't chole bhature mind if i have only dry chapati with moong dal ? And why these sprouts and salads  feel egoistic in being on top of food mindfulness? Kya gunaah kar diya humne agar cream salad kha liya ? After all it's a salad only .   And you know my breakfast plate just does not obey the rule of it being heaviest.  Instead the dinner plate gets jam p...
