Weekend Walk

On our final Sunday afternoon here in Auckland, the weather cleared and was beautifully sunny so we went on a 5km tramp around a peninsula called Shakespear Park near the seaside town of Orewa. A bit muddy underfoot (thanks to the pudding cows!) but the walk took us up and down dale through farming country, with terrific views of Auckland City and the Coromandel Peninsula; and the islands of Rangitoto, Tiri Tiri Matangi and Great Barrier Island. A stunning finale to our weekend, topped off with a delicious roast beef dinner! Thanks so much to our friends and hosts for making our last few days down-under warm and welcome as always...
