I will be in Auckland for the day next week before I visit Cloudy Bay. Any suggestions on things to do or see?.
Also will be in Sydney for a weekend after that need some suggestions on things to do over there as well.
I will be visiting Green Point and Cape Mentelle as well

It's been so long that my restaurant recommendations are out of date. However, they have great seafood there. I would stay away from the Princes Wharf which was too touristy for me. It's one of my favorite cities, but a really looooooooong flight to get there, esp if you fly coach.

My only memorable meal in Sydney was kangaroo who I think died of old age.
