Los Angeles to Auckland
Los Angeles to Auckland
Fantastic first day checking out area close to my apartment before I could check in. Gorgeous skies and sunshine and impressive gardens.
Then headed around Parnell for funky shops and cafes.
Fantastic redeveloped industrial area of the harbour with cool art. Then followed by a walk around interesting architecture in the CBD
Saw amazing views from 2 different places first Mount Eden, a sacred Maori ground out of the centre of town. And then Sky Tower, stunning weather for it.
Stunning weather and amazing morning on the set of Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films. V cool. Just a shame a rushed beer at the end.
Bus from Hobbiton to the geothermal place of Rotorua. Slightly haphazard run after falling over and then running through stunning scenery of hot springs and water front.
Shuttle bus out to an amazing site of volcanic activity. Hot springs, geothermal pools and amazing sunshine for the final view of the lake.
Very lengthy and protracted trip to get here but I've made it to the capital! This is the view from my room..
After a run (wet vile weather) to get my bearings in the morning I then did even more steps on a hike up Mount Victoria which is right near by b&b. Fantastic views despite the less than great weather.
