And this is my first experience of Auckland: the 'big smoke' in the land of the long white cloud, according to the gospel of Lonely Planet. I arrived at the hostel by 7am, but they wouldn't let me check in until after 10...gah! sleep-deprived, twisted and acutely aware of being alone...not good!! So I went to the highest point I could find so I could loiter awhile. I found clouds mainly, but it beat the hostel lobby easily. This is about 200m up the Sky Tower, New Zealand's tallest building and the 12th highest in the world (hmm, not such an impressive stat, that one).
You can jump off this tower if you want. I don't want, thank you very much.
