Views from Auckland's Sky Tower

This afternoon, we went for a visit at the top of Auckland's Sky Tower. There are two levels of observation decks, with the highest one being about 600 feet up. Dick doesn't love heights, but he didn't mind going up there with me, as long as he didn't have to hang out too close to the edges.

It was a really beautiful day to see Auckland from up high. Nice views!


Our hotel is part of the rectangular building on the left side

There were a few spots along the walkway that were glass, rather than cement. It freaked Dick out, but he worked up the nerve to walk across them for a photo op!

more pretty views

One thing that the Sky Tower offers, is the opportunity to "sky jump" from the 192 meters up! We did NOT do this, but it was fun to watch the jumpers from the comfort of the inside of the tower.


see that little red target on the bottom right of the photos? that's how far down the jumper will land
