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 !

Theme Reveal #BlogchatterA2Z 2022

I started my blog five years ago and my blogging journey during these five years has gone through many twists and turns . I started my blog on self hosted wordpress site , learnt lot many technical aspects like DA ,  SEO and latram patram .....Blogchatter has been a constant friend ( plus a big support) since then ....I have  successfully participated in  #BlogchatterA2Z three times .....and wrote two ebooks too during the process . All this was quite exciting you know as I got to understand a bit of creative side of writing , made some new blogger friends , and became a proud AUTHOR of two ebooks .  In 2018 my theme was #Astitva where I wrote about various stigmas faced by a woman in our society . In 2019 I wrote under the theme #Prerna where I uploaded  some inspirational posts . In 2020 all my blogposts were related to the life of middle aged women (as that was the time I had just stepped into my forties ) . That was the time I came up with the book 'The Silver Lined Mommy'

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 how i  had to bear my daughter

Education 5E Model : Which are the most important Es ?

Hi ! My name is Monika and  I am a teacher . I am working in the field of Education or should I say the field of Teaching-Learning for the last 18 years . My Basic educational qualification is Bachelor of Science (Mathematics  & Physics as the main subjects ) followed by Masters in Physics . So I have been teaching these two subjects for the last so many years . I have spent more years teaching Mathematics than Physics . When we talk of Teaching-Learning or Education  , there are many theories and approaches  available. One of them is constructivist approach to learning .

Unlike Traditional approach in the classroom , Constructivist approach focuses that the teacher poses problems and questions for the students . The students themselves try to find the solutions based on their prior learning . All this promotes curiosity and creativity among the students. I have often used the constructivist
