Spotting at Auckland airport

As mentioned in my previous blog today I headed off to Auckland but before I jumped on the plane in Brisbane I managed to get a few photos from the Emirates lounge.

The flight in was quite bumpy and a little uncomfortable because of the horrible weather.
Once I cleared customs here in Auckland I went and picked up my car and because it was raining heavily I headed to the multi storey car park where I visited once before and was going to spend the afternoon plane sporting out of the rain. When I got there it was closed to the public as they use it for hire car companies and staff, so I headed to the only other place I knew.. the dedicated look out area. This area is out in the open and it rained heavily more times that it didn't so this is the best I could do.
