Story

After our Weta Workshop tour, we went to a restaurant where they put the food on a robot tray that delivered the food to the tables. We all thought that was super fun to watch the robots driving around with everyone's food. Savannah said that was her favorite restaurant so far just because of that. We then went up in the sky Tower and got a great view of the city.

It was a little overcast so we couldn't see super far, but it was clearer than earlier in the morning. After our tower tour, we walked down to the waterfront to the Maritime museum.
