Dave went solo to The Maritime Museum, and came back impressed with the scope of the museum.  There were displays beginning with the Maori boats, then the immigrant boats,  up to the modern day race boats.  The displays were complete with sound effects of  the ships creaking and water coming aboard.  While he did that, Sandy, Steve, and I followed a walking tour written up in The Lonely Planet.  We wandered through second hand shops, parks abloom with spring flowers, a kindergarten in a gorgeous colonial building (we checked out the playground to make sure it wasn't just cute), Auckland University Campus, and the fashion district.
