Coast to coast walk, etc.

Yesterday the weather was absolutely beautiful so I put on my summer dress and my happy face and Flanders and I went and did the Auckland coast to coast walk after I'd done a round of pancake making.  Yeah, that's right, I actually did the 16km coast to coast walk.

I don't know what I'd done to my thighs but they were really painful and my right thigh kept giving way on me.  It was rubs.  It didn't stop me however.  What was annoying, though, was that we had done basically no preparation and the only map we had didn't have road names on and we kept getting completely lost and did about eight loops but we found our way back to Epsom (an area you have to go through to go to One Tree Hill) and all was good again.  One Tree Hill was amazing.  Even though it's No Tree Hill.  Anyway, the view back to Auckland CBD (OTH is quite far out) is very, very cool.  It was also a wonderful day to go out in but I'm bitterly disappointed that after five hours of walking I don't even have a bit of colour to show for it and today the weather is not so good again.  Bad times.

Then last night there was a massive group of us sitting around and having a few beers and playing drinking games.  Excellent.
