A tiki tour to Auckland

 

The sun came back for a trip into Auckland. The NZMCA Park at Ardmore is convenient for the Papakura railway station but there were no trains running over Easter!! There were replacement busses, so we hopped on one and had a long trip into the city. After coffee at the viaduct area on Auckland’s waterfront we felt happier. 

We needed that coffee

Strange people...

Ferries were running, so we took one across to Davenport for lunch, before retracing our steps.

Auckland Botanical Gardens

 

The weather wasn’t so good today. We spent the morning visiting Auckland Botanical Gardens, where the plants provided colour on a dull day. We went into Manakau and bought a new radio/cd player then spent the afternoon and evening with Sue and Jeff, playing cards and drinking wine.
