[05:41.68]Passage Auckland [05:46.44]Looking for a vacation spot that combines the excitment of a bustling city [05:53.20]with the ease of an island paradise? [05:57.64]Then consider Auckland,New Zealand. [06:02.97]About 11 hours from Southeast Asia, [06:07.65]this city is sandwiched between two harbors on New Zealand's North Island. [06:13.89]Auckland is becoming more famous all over the world for its high quality of life. [06:21.83]And if you don't have a lot of vacation time,don't worry. [06:27.40]You can experience much of this city in just two days. [06:26.40]Start your first day in downtown Auckland. [06:31.46]Go to Queen Street and try climbing the Sky Tower. [06:36.92]At 328 meters,it's the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere. [06:44.47]Inside the tower,you'll find a hotel,casino,theater and many restaurants. [06:52.73]The tower's newest attraction [06:56.80]is a guided climb up a unique ladder system through the middle of the tower. [07:04.95]Trained guides take you up to the top for a stunning view of Auckland. [07:11.61]Once on the ground again,make your way to Victoria Park Market. [07:18.46]It's just a few minutes'walk from the tower. [07:23.50]Victoria Park Market was originally built in 1950 as an industrial site. [07:31.96]But the area was transformed in 1981 into an open-air shopping mall. [07:39.72]All the clothes and crafts you'll find here are made locally. [07:45.47]So take your time wandering through this special market. [07:50.82]Next,head over to the Viaduct Harbor. [07:55.58]Here,you'll find the team bases for the America's Cup. [08:00.93]More than four million people came to see this world-famous yacht race last year. [08:07.78]Come join the millions of visitors flocking to see the 2003 races next month. [08:15.54]On your second day,wake up early and board a ferry to Waiheke Island. [08:23.48]Only 30 minutes away from Auckland, [08:28.05]nearly every Aucklander goes there to relax and have fun. [08:33.90]Take advantage of the early morning sun and go swimming in the sea. [08:40.38]Or you can a boat and go sailing. [08:45.05]Did you know that Aucklanders own the most boats per capita in the world? [08:51.90]No wonder it's called the City of Sails. [08:57.04]You can easily spend the whole day on Waiheke. [09:02.37]If you tire of the beach,visit the island's vineyards. [09:09.24]For your next destination,catch a ferry boat to the mainland. [09:15.41]Get on the 2 p.m.ferry that stops at the seaside village of Devonport. [09:22.67]Make a beeline for any cafe and order some fish and chips. [09:28.52]Finish your whirlwind tour of Auckland by heading back to the Sky Tower. [09:34.97]Don't worry.You don't have to climb it again. [09:40.43]This time,ride the elevator to the top. [09:45.89]Have dinner in any fo the seven restaurants at the Tower, [09:51.67]and take in Auckland's skyline by night. [09:56.42]As you admire the splendid view, [10:00.78]enjoy some famous New Zealand lamb or some seafood. [10:06.43]Then pat yourself on the back [10:10.27]for having managed to see this exciting city in just two days.
