sky tower and the rainforest

the day started off with some diary admin from the shorter members of the household who wrote their diaries

  

then we headed in to town to go up the sky tower.  here’s a load of pictures:

  

 

 

there’s a bit more on the magnifying glass later …

 

  

here’s my old office (above) and my new office (below)

 

we also got to watch various sky jumpers dropping by outside the window like this lady

after Sky Tower we drove over to the waitakere visitors centre for a picnic lunch and an energetic short walk in the rain forest

 

then we came home rather tired and exhausted for tea and bed

here’s some more pictures for your enjoyment of science in action

 

 

and here’s a gecko from the visitor centre:

(many of today’s photos were taken by Andrew and Julie again!)
