As I went to post a new entry I discovered this unpublished draft of a brief adventure in New Zealand. It might be two years late, but here ya go!
Our second day in New Zealand, we took a ferry to an Island 30 minutes off the coast of New Zealand called Waiheke Island. It was a small country island with curvy roads, rolling hills, and sandy beached sprinkled with shells. We walked to the quiet town of Oneroa, and searched for shells off Oneroa Bay. After a peaceful walk we caught the ferry back to Devonport, a town across the harbor from Auckland. Devonport was filled with shops and restaurants and hikes up hills where the view of the city center, and the panorama of the volcanic Rangitoto Island proved to be majestic. We hiked up to the lower of the two major hills, and frolicked in the grass. When it started to rain we watched the city almost completely vanish under the misty gray fog. After the storm let up we hiked back down to Devonport and caught our ferry back to the city. We went for a farewell dinner with our friends and we're packing up our bags to head home. See you in the snow!!
