It's also a sad day.
Sad because I just read that the New Lynn Hotel will be taken to with a wrecking ball today.
This building is one of my favourite in the entire city.
My mind wanders when I pass it by and I imagine the weary travellers that must sheltered inside over a hundred years ago (built in 1881!).
I tried to find some images of it to post and came across these beautiful ones taken by Henk Stolk here on Redbubble.

Aren't they great!
Anyway. I am really disappointed that I couldn't visit one more time before it was too late.
A reminder I suppose, to make sure you do all the things that you just gotta do today aye!
