Name: Norman Russell, 65.
At Auckland Viaduct
Are you a local or visiting?
England - first time in New Zealand.
Who are you here with?
With my wife, for my nephew's wedding.
What have you been doing today?
Just generally wandering and I was just writing my speech. I'm the MC for the wedding.
What do you think of Auckland?
Totally impressed, lovely lovely city. Everyone's just very impressively friendly. There's no aggression from what we've seen, which is very refreshing coming from London.
What's the best local snack/eatery/bar in Auckland you've found?
We ate at Wildfire and that was excellent. Even here [Limon], I've just stopped for a cup of English tea, very refreshing in the afternoon.
What are your plans this summer?
My nephew's wedding tomorrow and then we're here for a week. We'll go around the rest of New Zealand, as much as we can see.
