The Great, and Developing, City of Auckland

Last night I had the beautiful privilege of going to a remarkable concert at Vector Arena in Auckland.

My beautiful wife and I drove in from Dairy Flat with only minor delays, near the port, due to the ASB Classic Tennis – which was clearly pumping.

We had a superb dinner at Gerome in Parnell and then made our way to the concert and parked easily nearby.

Vector Arena was almost sold out for the great David Byrne of Talking Heads – and solo career – fame. He – as they say in the biz – killed it – and broke a couple of legs! I even danced, in a limited way.

When we left we had choices of how we drove back to beautiful Dairy Flat and the traffic management was superb.

We choose to drive via the new hospitality developments near the viaduct and the place was simply humming. Lit up and loads of punters.

We were just 40 minutes after leaving our seats to home – and without time to say “congestion”.

Auckland may just be on the way … and just wait until the CRL opens.
