Some of you may remember my June post, where I show you this photo I took from my school. We have been having so much rain these winter that it is not funny. Yesterday, the fog blanketed the whole day, and planes were canceled.

Yesterday, when I looked towards the same direction I took the June photo, it seems an ogre had descended from the skies and escape with our city icon, our Sky City tower. As I took the photo, my colleague asked me what was I photographing. In jest, I said," The Sky Tower." He laughed.

Today, on my way home, the heavy downpour caused an almost zero visibility. All the cars were driving at a snail pace, and parts of the roads were flooded.

View from my school at Pt Chevalier. The Sky Town is the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. Some days we have a beautiful view, some day, it is shrouded with clouds.

A truly captivating experience awaits visitors to Auckland's Sky Tower. At 328 metres, it is the tallest man-made structure in New Zealand and offers breathtaking views for up to 80 kilometres in every direction.

Travel up in the glass-fronted lifts to one of the three spectacular viewing platforms, or for more thrills and excitement, SkyWalk round the pergola at 192 metres up or SkyJump off the Tower!
