New Zealand: Auckland

Today I got two postcards: one from New Zealand and one from the USA.

The card from New Zealand shows the Waterfront of Auckland. Auckland is the largest city of New Zealand and is sometimes also called City of Sails because of the many sailing boats in the harbour. The tower on the card is the Sky Tower and is 328m tall.


Stamp:
Margaret Mahy (from set of five) (issued 13-03-2013)
Margaret Mahy (1936-2012) was a author of children's books from New Zealand. She got as only New Zealander the Hans Christian Andersen Award. 
The Word Witch is a collection of Margaret Mahy's verses.


Thank You very much Sharon!
