One of the last jobs we do when putting together each week's Travel magazine is to write the "What we learned" piece, which appears on the page opposite this editorial each week.
It's intended as a fun way of telling you, the reader, about the contents of the magazine. It also celebrates the fact our magazine — and indeed travel in general — will introduce you to some amazing facts.
Check this out: At 362m, the world's longest cruise ship, the Symphony of the Seas, is longer than the Sky Tower is tall.
I can see the Sky Tower from my desk — at 328m, it's the southern hemisphere's tallest building. Next time you see it, imagine a cruise ship, standing upright on its propellor, alongside the building. Stephanie Holmes filed the first report from a Kiwi journalist on the ship's maiden voyage last week.
