We started with breakfast at Federal Delicatessen, next to the hotel, and then tried to find transit cards. This involved some trial and error. They are sold at some convenience stores but not all. Once we had cards, we took a bus to the zoo. (This was easier in Japan. To get a transit card for multiple cities, I opened the Wallet app on my iPhone, tapped + and Transit Card, scrolled to Japan, and followed the prompts to add credit, before I even left home.)

At the zoo, I was quite impressed with iPhone’s ability to recognize animals, even some unusual animals, down to the species. Most of the species labels below (and later in the trip) are from iPhone.

After the zoo, we walked around Auckland a bit, touching the waterfront and discovering another chocolate store.
