Off to the Sky Tower

We continued walking towards the harbour and stopped at the Sky Tower.  It seemed to be a very tall structure. However it just seems tall.  Compared to other towers like CN tower in Toronto or the Skytree in Tokyo. It's just a baby.  Because the surrounding buildings are not so tall it just seems huge and it certainly isn't closing on the Auckland Skyline. Regardless we went up to up and had a good 30 seconds are soul of a clear view. Then clouds rolled in and we would catch glimpses of the surrounding area. It was still aware of our time. The pictures look like we're underwater due to the thickness of the glass. They also had sections coveed in glass panels were you could see straight down. You could walk over these sections but it felt  like stepping on the crack of the sidewalk.  My brain stem said no, I felt like I  was tempting fate.

Looking up at the Sky Tower


As you ride the elevator up you can see all the way down the elevator shaft


We had a lovely dinner in the Tokyo sky tree


We have seen both of these but did not visit them


We have been to the top of the Empire State Building and it is Taller


Partly cloudy


In roll the clouds


A view of the harbour in the distance


The bridge is off in the distance


Are we under the sea or over the sea


Our hotel room is the right building at the very end


Tight quarters on the inside but you can walk around the outside if you choose to


 the pink Road that you can see is actually a bike trail
