We'll be with you in spirit at the Voco bar and later at Giraffe.
Have a great evening.

I may miss the early drinks given a Hilton >> Voco >> Giraffe turns a 450 metre walk into a 1.8 Km journey.

 

[blackcat20]

I'll try to come up for drinks once I'm ready. Quite enjoying some quiet time with the view up here.

Doing some scouting, if you walk through the foyer of the Sebel and out to Viaduct Harbour you will find yourself at the restaurant's entrance.

View from the Sebel

 

[drron]

Wonderful car park view.

 

[jswong]

Wonderful car park view.

The views from the other side are much better looking over the viaduct

 

[serfty]

Sort of a view from the Hilton ...

Viaduct Harbour area, muchly Maritime Museum:

Seems there a major Turf Horse racing event at Ellerslie today - may explain the high accommodation costs.

Also, the area around here was jumping earlier - the 4.8K PAX "Ovation Of The Seas" has recently departed. There a cruise liner "Viking Orion" in port (only 980 PAX).
