Always great to celebrate a birthday

In the weekend we celebrated our dear daughters birthday.


We booked a table to dine at the Orbit Restaurant, which is up the Sky Tower. Just getting there, started off been problematic ... as we tried to go up in the lift, strong winds were whistling down and would not enable us to go, the door kept opening three times. In the end the attendant beckoned us to try another lift on the other side which seemed to be more sheltered.
Whish! ... up we went at a fast pace, with the speed and air pressure, my ears popped and do not like that feeling.
 
Auckland Harbour bridge in the distance

Perched high in the sky with a birds eye view, looking down over the City of Auckland and  was fun pointing out all the landmarks and tall buildings.
Always like the Metropolis building in the center

 As it was a rainy day the visibility wasn't great but took a few photos to show you. 


Sorry they are not the best,  but sometimes we can't pick the weather and we got to be up in the clouds and see the  rain trickling down the window panes.

Yet another year has flown by
Happy birthday Victoria and best wishes for a great new year ahead
 
Made sure I had room for  dessert - pavlova was delicious

thank you for your kindness in taking the time to visit Victoria's youtube channel - appreciate that.

Hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend dear friends and now wishing you a happy week ahead.
