To be honest, I haven't heard much about a new road up there. Might be because I've missed the news a lot lately. Like tonight I stayed at work to beat every single high score on Sega Rally 3 (which is awesome)
Anyway it all looks very nice! I especially like the restaurant... It's the one off the Yellow Pages ad right?

@yea g
The new road is great. Cut through mountains, sweeping corners, amazing bridges, tunnels (which just can't be found anywhere else in Auckland), great views of the sea at Orewa, it's quite stunning. I didn't mind the queues at all as I enjoyed the scenery so much.

We had lunch at a cafe, part of a Bee-keeping operation which produces delicious honey, among other products. The Yellow Treehouse is the one from the Yellow Pages ads, you're right but at $75.00 per head with a minimum of 4 people for lunch, it's a little expensive for us. It'd be cheaper to dine in the Skytower. I just had to go have a look though, you know, from a architectural point of view.
The Satellite Station has beeen there for as long as I can remember; they used to do tours back when it was Government department owned (TVNZ I think?) but now that its privately owned by Telecom it is surrounded by fences and no access signs, and deserted.

Wow, great website. Love the slidey thing at the bottom.
@yea g: Nah I wasn't getting paid, but I play the games for free while anyone else pays $2 per go (for Sega Rally at least), so no arguments there!

The card system is gay. Me and my friend went to the one in glenfield mall when we were bored, but we only had 2 dollars left so we couldn't actually get a card, and the machines don't take coins! (we ended up buying a kitkat at foodtown)
