Auckland, New Zealand (August 2012) |
Interesting fact of the day: Auckland has more yachts per capita than anywhere else in the world. According to our guide and dear friend
Mark, about one in six Aucklanders own a boat, hence the nickname "City of Sails." So doing as the Romans do, we went sailing on a deceivingly beautiful day, only to encounter a storm on the water... Regardless, still one of my favorite cities in the world.
