Back to Auckland

After our stay in Waiheke, a trip back through Auckland was necessary. Since our new host, Monique, is a French teacher at her local high school, we had until late afternoon to entertain ourselves. We hiked across the CBD, back to the Auckland domain, to see the greenhouses.

It was too magnificent for words, so I've just posted plenty of pictures to give the feeling of it. There were two greenhouses, just across a courtyard from each other. And behind there was a Fernery, absolutely full of lush ferns. It was cool and damp inside of there. Reminded me a lot of walking through Armstrong Redwoods and trekking around my home when I've lived in Occidental.

Took the train West from the Britomart in the CBD.

Off to our next destination!
