 Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com. You are watching one of my New Zealand travel videos and today I'll show you some roadside scenes in Auckland. New Zealand is a country in the south of the Pacific Ocean made of two main islands, North and Southland. Auckland has 1.5 million population, a third of New Zealand's population lives in Auckland, and 39% are born outside New Zealand. In this video I'll concentrate on beautiful Auckland downtown, roadside scenes were taken from various parts of Auckland downtown New Zealand. Thank you for watching this video, forget about subscribing to this channel, forget about liking this video, there will be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly. Thank you. Off to the left here, just down from front of us we might get a bit of a glimpse, just there you see a skeleton looking building with cranes up it. That's the building I'm talking about. Okay so as we come in the corner here just into the left here where these brollies are and those people are wandering in there. On the other side of these buildings you'll be sportful choice for like cafes, bars, restaurants. That area is called the Viaduct Harbour, very popular dining area. So this is the street here turning right, this is Key Street Q U A Sitter Inn. Celebrity solstice here on the left and I'm not sure what the other one is. Ah the Golden Princess, one of the princess ships. Okay road, we can thank humans, our caters, lap around. It won't be finished until 2024 and costing about $4 billion. So the ferry building is on the left here, on the right there if you look in there you see the very old building in there. That was the original post office for downtown, the central post office. As I say a lot of these buildings get converted into something else which has also happened to that one. That one's now the train station. Just on the left here you see the red fence, it's very historical harbour port fence. Basically marks a boundary between the city area and the harbour area. I read about about 10 years ago, it's a wonderful little area through here. There's lots of cafes, restaurants, designer shops etc. On Sunday mornings in this open space here they actually have a wonderful little farmers market. Look at through here. To the right here is a lovely little laneway if you like. Steak is a little Angus Steakhouse down there. Anyway and to the left there is High Street. It's one of my favourite streets, it runs parallel to Queen Street. And up there you see a lot of designer shops, cafes, restaurants, galleries. And actually there's a wonderful little souvenir shop up there. If you're looking for genuine New Zealand souvenirs or gifts, it's a shop called Parwan Asia. It's run like an arts collective, run by the artist for the artist. So the prices are really reasonable and they make out a nice range of products. The dental is one of the oldest pubs in town. And if you like seafood like me, you have a bit of a seafood attic. They do these wonderful mussel seafood pots and they have different flavours. Also if you wanted into Falcon Lane there, it's a couple of nice little bars called Mezi Bar and My Bar. They're more than bars actually, they're all eateries as well. And they're open until the evening, you can get some of that later into the evening. Just here on the left is the very iconic, Kiwi iconic department store called Farmers. And up on the side there if you look up here you might notice the big man up there in the red suit. There's a pet reindeer, I'm not too sure what his name is. On the other side there's a stop here again, there we go. Also down here, a number of historical buildings, especially on the left down here, there's some very large mansions. These were all constructed and occupied by very wealthy merchants in the early Auckland. They're all now owned by the Auckland City Council. And the University makes use of most of them. Just on the intersection here on the right is the little wood on Fentseine Cottage. They enter early 1800s from about 1810 through to 1860. They're all different denominations, different flavours. Coming up now we're going right back through the University. On the left here is the Faculty of Arts, Music, Humanities etc. On the right it's made to do with administration. This is an issue because housing is so expensive, also rent is expensive. Over the recent years there have been a few. For the white man or the pachia turned up, the Marys fought extensively amongst themselves. Particularly the tribe from the North called Narp who invaded frequent raiding parties down to the Auckland and Waikato regions. Right now though, we're on the rim of an old volcanic crater on the western rim here along with the hospital. There's a lovely example of Victorian-style glass houses, there's two of them there. They're called the Winter Gardens and they're free to visit. Well worth it to feel like gardens. At the day of 130, there is a charge for that. There's also a charge to go into the museum. Other areas in there worth visiting. Us serve a sequence through Parnell from downtown. The interlink ones are the Green Bus and the interlink ones are the Marys. They both do different loops in the city. They actually quote with just hopping on and riding in and waiting for a bit of fun. But they both go to different areas except Tainaport. This is the largest container port in the country and it's responsible for handling about 60% of our container traffic which adds up to just over 100,000 containers per year. There's restaurants over there. Ferries go there in half an hour right through to 11 o'clock at night. They're parting from that ferry building we saw earlier on. Also, we've got a bit of energy. It's well worth walking up that knobby hill on the left there called Mount Victoria. There we have a cemetery, it's a Burukla. We will see their current Mariah meeting house when we go to Bastion to watch all the containers come there. Also, just off to the left after we've gone around the bend here and passed the Tamaki Yon Cup here on the left. You'll see that wooden lighthouse just out on the bay. That historical carrier lighthouse, I showed it all when I went down Marine Alley. Sitting out there on a big rock. It's all used.
