    Not too much crack on a Tuesday, mate. There's a few pub quiaaes and the Dog's Bollix (in Newton) will have live music. I don't like your chances of getting on the water, either - weather likely to be fairly ****e. If I was you I'd stay in the CBD, more chance of something going on. Try O'Carrol's in Vulcan Lane or the Viaduct area (full of abrs and restaurants).

    If you were coming to Wellington then I could think of a loads of things to do during the week but I can't help you with Auckland. Sorry!

    As was said above, the weather might not be great so you probably shouldn't count on being able to get on the water until you see what the day is going to be like. I find it even more unpredictable here than home. One day, blazing sunshine the next cold and rainy.

    I second O'Carrolls bar, clean and nice atmosphere, also if you venture to Parnell theres The Bog which is alright too. CBD is probably the best place to stay as its central to everything. Can get the Link bus around town suburbs like Parnell, New Market , Ponsonby etc and get a sample of each of them for $1.60 a trip so not too bad! The weather for the last week was fantastic here in Auckland but is turning back to overcast and showers now but hopefully a sign of more fine weather to come!
