auckland- waiheke

Off the island of waiheke. Just day 2 n I'm sunburnt frm a day of island life. We had a real awesome house with the sea just in front of us. So it was a day of wine tasting at the vineyard, lil shopping at the town, n dining at alfresco at our lil porch outside the house n sipping rose by the beach. Oh gosh I've totally fallen in love w e way of life in waiheke!! Heart this place.

N all was good except my messed up body clock which can't stomach the time difference n causing me to wake up almost at every hour. Rarr!! Oh but good thg was since Marilyn n I are both up at 4.30am this morning we were in time to watch the sunrise at the beach at 5 am. Pity, we realised later that the view is blocked by this cliff. Arghh.

N now it's back to the city. Back to Auckland! And now I'm extra extra burnt. oh gosh... ouch~~~didnt visit much places today cos of the unexpected time taken to travel to our new hostel back in auckland. we went around the housing estates hunting high and low for it with our backpacks. left waiheke at abt 12 almost 1 pm, had lunch at a ramen shop after we reached auckland and began our torturous hunt at the city for the bus stop and the excruciating walk around the housing estates before finally checking in at 4pm. boohoo. but after which was a cool chill out around the neighbourhood and up Mount Eden. and the climb was absolutely worth it!! awesome sunset view at the summit! Lots of couples, families and friends around as well.

Lots of post card perfect photos taken!! Up on facebook when I'm back :D
