Auckland is a nice city. I can't think of much else to say. There are some decent restaurants, good bars, and a fairly worthy art gallery. It's a city that is often lauded for its high standard of living, but it's really only moderately interesting to visit. We also made the absurd decision to illegally stay the night in a car park right in the centre of town (we'd paid for 24 hours parking), however the large gang and raucous antics which congregated all around our van made this decision untenable, so we decamped to the council designated car park on the central reservation of a major highway instead (narrowly avoiding a police breathalyser on the way). The docks are certainly a nice area to visit, and the generic mix of old and modern suburban architecture commonly found in the Antipodes makes it a pleasant place to hang out. However one night was sufficient.
