Cairns and Auckland

Im back home from my first long scheme duty which was an 8 days out.  It was an exciting and unexpectedly fun flight of MNL-CNS-AKL-CNS-MNL. An overnight in Cairns, 3 nights in Auckland and another day back in Cairns. Initially, I was scared to take this flight since this is always taken by seniors. Luckily, I was surrounded with kind and down-to-earth flight crew. Couldn't be more thankful for this experience.

Explored the city of Auckland on our first day. It was tiring but worth it since I might not able to get this flight again anytime soon. We went to check the Auckland Sky Tower and see the whole city from its sky deck. It costs $29 for the entrance. 

It also has a cafe where you can dine for coffee or have an ice cream with an overview of the city. 

And more city roaming.

A Strawberry farm is a walking distance from our hotel so we decided to go altogether on our last day and try their amazing desserts made from fresh strawberries. They have strawberry ice cream, strawberry shakes and a sundae split. Since I was very hungry at that time, I ordered their pancakes for $9. 

Back at the hotel, I made sure I had myself a selfie. LOL

Unfortunately, this was the only group photo I had.
