Welcome back – thanks for sticking around – I’ll maybe do a wee souvenir / competition thing here along the way, sound good?!
After lunch, I grabbed a Ferry from the harbour and headed over to beautiful Devenport. I’ve taken one or two videos which I’ll try to throw together into a concise video back at McG HQ. Suffice to say, beautiful, smooth, turquoise waters and a clean sea air made for a very pleasant crossing.
Devonport itself is like a place lost in time. The shops and the houses especially wouldn’t seem out of place in ’30s America or a film set – I’ll dig out some photographs soon, words won’t do it justice, like most things I’ve seen so far.
I scaled Mount Victoria – sounds impressive right? It’s Tiny! Small it is but it provides a great vantage point to see Auckland in all it’s glory.
After this I headed back to BASE and succumbed to ‘The Lag’!!
Today’s plan involves going to the Sky Tower. My friend Bruce assures me I can zip-line from it and I’m pretty confident that shouldn’t end in my lower body being fully detached from itself – so I’m in! 🙂 Other than that, I really fancy a night stroll around the harbour as I hear it’s a bit special around then.
Thanks for joining me on this journey – please don’t be a stranger and leave some comments if you can – do you have suggestions for places to visit in NZ? Maybe I’m using too many smiley faces? Anything, just let me know – until tomorrow, have a great one!!
It really is – I’m having the best time here – probably have to lock myself away coding for the next few months to pay for it, but I’ll think of that another time haha.
