During the work week, I am often on Queen Street at noon.
Sometimes I shop for something we need at home.
Other times, I just walk--down the great hill and back again--for fresh air and exercise after spending the morning at my desk.
Wednesday, 23 September, was different. I had a meeting at the Tamaki campus. I caught the train at 9:55 a.m. and headed east to work at the Composites Centre.
When I got home, Lucy asked me how things went and whether I was on Queen Street at noon.
"No, I was at Tamaki today" I replied. "Why," I asked.
It was the annual Boobs on Bikes parade down Queen St.
Yahoo news reports that "Downtown Auckland ground to its annual halt today as the city's main street was taken over by naked breasts, motorcycles and thousands of men armed with mobile phone cameras.
More than 80,000 people were estimated to have visited Queen St on a gray and occasionally showery day to attend the annual Boobs On Bikes parade"
Missed it by that much.
