So, today I walked from Queen Street to Mount Eden. I then walked up Mount Eden. I love my DCs, which have helped me get so far already. Anyway, so the walk through to the volcano was through all these industrial areas and that's what a lot of Auckland is like; industrial estates and tall business buildings. It's kind of like Reading in that way. I don't much like that.
But I went to the top of the volcano and then I looked around and the view was AMAZING. It really was. You can see all around you, countryside one way, the city another, sea another, volcanoes another. I don't know if it's volcanoes or volcanos. Probably with the e. I promptly burst into tears because I'm uber cool. I have no idea why.
So then I came back down and I walked through Auckland Domain, which was awesome and very pretty with duck ponds and mahoosive pigeons and fountains and flowerbeds and weird shaped trees.
Tomorrow to Waiheke Island, with a long list of things to do courtesy of TheKiwi. I think when I get there I'll find it's basically a list of places to go in order to drink wine and as I plan to hire a bicycle I think it could prove pretty entertaining.
Also my food got stolen. Twice. So now I'm Special K-less and toastless. Bad times.

ReplyDeleteAnd Auckland is so not industrial estates and tall buildings! We have more!! ... like traffic jams and no public transport! :s
And an excellent addition to your CV it would be. FACT.
ReplyDeleteYeah, what's with the terrible transport system?! No trains/trams/subway?! It's WEIRD!! But seriously, there are a LOT of industrial estates. Everywhere.
