Day 25 Early Birthday Suprises
Woke up this morning to be told it was my early birthday 
and we were going to be having dinner in the revolving restaurant of the Sky Tower and spending the night in the Sky City Hotel!!!!
Isn’t he just the VERY BEST???? 
and that was on top of going to see a production of Porgie and Bess that I already knew about!!!
We had early dinner because of going to the theatre so we headed up the tower about 5 ish to the observation lounge – the view is spectacular…
I had a cocktail called Heaven Bound (kiwifruit voddie and cranberry juice and something else … it was delish 
) which I did have to finish a bit quick before we went even higher to the Orbit restaurant .
it took me a couple of secs to realise the part of the restaurant where the tables were was moving and it wasn’t me … 
It was quite something to see Auckland from above and as the sun went down …
very romantic …. 
and the food was wonderful too …
Porgie and Bess was good – it was a bit more warbly than I remembered but the Gershwin music was fab … and My Murray manfully sat through it without dropping off bless him!! 
Then it was a stroll through the casinos 
at Sky City (we didn’t hit the tables – It was fascinating to watch tho …) before going back to the room to finish off the complementary champers … 
It was a very special day – and I can’t really put into words how special it made me feel – and how lucky I am to have Murray in my life now …
