Arrived in Auckland two evenings ago. Stayed two nights at Alex's great uncle and aunt's place just north of the city. Walk into the metropolis has been cool as it is just in the last 20 miles or so that there is any significant coastal development, then bam, multiple-million dollar modern/post modern coastal house after house. Rolling green hills similar to Beverly Hills in LA.
Did our biggest day, a bit over 40km from the edge of the Dome Forest to Orewa beach a few days ago.
Saw the city on a rest day yesterday and it was in fact a city- 1.2 million out of NZ's population of a bit over four million! Picked up my parcel at the post office of my extra shoes, soap, batteries etc and walked the city a bit.
I hope all's well with everyone!
Nick
