Auckland Sky Tower Revolving Orbit Restaurant Birthday Dinner

Now anyone who knows me, I find airplane flights or little boats slightly challenging to say the least and spinning restaurants… well I left my last spinning restaurant in Toronto slightly on the green side, however thankfully my constitution has somewhat hardened, see there is a positive to ageing!

We arrived at the sky tower just as the sun was setting so were able to catch a squiz of Auckland at dusk and then up a few floors to The Orbit restaurant.

Have to say the food, drink and service were first class and a good time was had by all. 

The boys found it most amusing with the fact that they had to go hunting for the toilets as they had moved every time. Also important to note… don’t put any coats or bags on the edge by the glass if you don’t want it to go walk about, as we found out fairly early on in our meal!


Now the taxi home to Takapuna was entertaining and again another first for the books, little Italian (very Italian I might add) taxi driver produced a little microphone, popped on some ABBA, and hey presto, had a little grandma singing her heart out all the way home, happy days!


Look on the boys faces says it all really!
