The Queen Mary II came to town











She is the biggest cruise line in the world and we couldn't believe how massive she was. It is very difficult to get a sense of the scale on these pictures. She dwarfs most of the buildings in Auckland CBD and Rangitoto Island looked like a mole hill as she went by.




Most of the major cruise liners berth here for a couple of days - we had the Oriana last week.





























Here's the Oriana

I saw the ship departing on Saturday evening, as I happened to be in the Viaduct area at the time. There were lots of impressive fireworks to celebrate her departure :D
