In and around Auckland

Visit of Dietmar and Susan
Directly after our arrival here, we were glad that we could go to Dietmar and Susan who live in Devenport! Thank you again for your great hospitality, we felt more than welcome immediately!

Auckland
After a first (unsuccessful) attempt to buy a car, we explored Auckland.

Buying a car on a car fair is quite a tricky business. Almost bought a car, but then found out it has a problem with the gear box. Went to a different car fair and there bought our new automobile: a Nissan Pulsar!

Rainforrest express
That train was once used to build the water pipelines that still supply Auckland with water. Now you can sit inside that tiny train (looks like a toy) and explore the rain forrest around the water reserves.

Pics!

Swimming at:
Takapuna Beach
Piha Beach
Narrowneck Beach

Raingitoto Volcanic Island
We took the ferry to explore this vulcanic island. It was amazing to see the difference in vegetation compared to the rain forrest the day before!

Pics!


To be continued soon ...

  1. Hallo Luci und Thomas!
    Schön von euch zu lesen, es freut uns, dass es euch gut geht auf der anderen Seite der Erde. Die Fotos sind eindrucksvoll und lassen einen etwas neidig werden. Frostige Grüße aus der Steiermark, die Rockies.
