Mount Eden

This next place was Mount Eden. It was a steep hill to get to the view but totally worth it. The crater is from a rock from the volcano from hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago. From the view seen in the video, you can see all parts of the city and what we actually saw. In the video, where it starts, is where we ended, and where the video ended is where we started. Had I known that, I would have taken the video in the other direction. Regardless, the view is stunning.
After Mount Eden, we went to Soljans for a wine tasting, which is a local vineyard.
After we had our fill of wine, we went to Riverhead Tavern, which is the oldest tavern in New Zealand. I had their famous fish and chips and a beer, Monteith's. I'm not a beer drinker, but it tasted pretty good.
We drove past the Crisco mansion. The wall is dry wall where wach stone was crafted onsite and hand placed! After the stone fence is the mansion looking down a hill to it.
There's a picture of one of the many schools in the city. I just got a good picture of this one.Read more
