AUCKLAND: What's to do between 5 am and noon?

Our plane will arrive in Auckland at 5 am and we won't be able to board the Star Princess till noon. We expect to have a car and driver waiting since Princess transfers aren't available till after the next plane arrives at 11. What would be a good way to spend that l-o-n-g morning after an even l--o-n--g--e--r flight? Doing things that require walking would be preferable to sitting in a car for 6 hours after an 18 hour flight.

Check into a day room at a local hotel, it would sure be worth the expense (for that matter, even if you had to reserve the room for the night before) to be able to shower, etc.

Princess used (last March) the hotel that's part of the SkyTower complex. From there you can walk all over the downtown of Auckland and go up in the SkyTower for views all around. From the SkyTower you will see the ship in port; it's also within walking distance. There are many, many travelers in the area, particularly a lot of young people.

Enjoy your trip Down Under.
