People in Ponsonby celebrate their newfound freedom in alert level 2 after level 3 restrictions were lifted this morning. As the patchy weather is keeping people off the beaches and outside, shoppers at some Auckland malls including Glenfield Mall are reporting huge queues. One KFC customer said there was no chicken at KFC Glenfield this morning due to a delivery being late, so he had to drive to Birkdale. Aucklanders hit the beach this morning as the city moves to alert level 2. "It sounds like there's a pretty constant stream of people coming and going and adjusting to level 2 again."
