Poppies!!
The Cruise Ship Queen Elizabeth is in port on her 2015 Anzac Voyage.
Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign, she is cruising up to Gallipoli in time for Anzac Day.
There were poppies being pinned to the numbers 100, which the Queen Elizabeth is taking with her when she sets sail later today. This is bio-degradable so we are hoping it will be floated at sea during the Commemoration...
..and of course I did put a Poppy on the wall
Below the 'Queen Elizabeth'
On a lighter note, a new piece of Street Art has popped up on Queens Wharf.
and to celebrate the 10 Days of Fashion, of course there would be Heels...
So if you didn't know the Cricket World Cup 2015 is currently on and is being hosted by New Zealand and Australia, and haven't the games been great. (Go the Black Caps)
Today you could meet the NZ Black Caps at the Fan Zone in Takutai Square in downtown Auckland
There are giant screens so you can watch all of the matches..
...you can sit in a grandstand or laze back in bean bags
