Sunday morning - farewell Auckland, looking to the Northlands

[byslantedlight]

Hello! I have been promising a proper post and not doing it, but now it's Sunday morning, I have no work deadlines until Tuesday night, and I have half an hour before the SuperShuttle picks me up to head for the airport where I'll pick up a car and then drive northI've been in Auckland for six days, which seems a bit odd when most people fly

It sounds like a interesting week. I love the tree-pictures (all of them) and the stairs and corridors. And the flowers. And the beach in the dark looks quite peaceful.

You've been a busy woman! All the pictures are lovely and interesting, but I have to admit the ones in the Wintergarden are my favorite.

It is hard to imagine that we're still having to talk about how women are treated, though going by what's just gone on here I'm not surprised. We're only believed if dozens of women come forward. What gets me is how the big, fat orange man is trying to turn it on its head. A guy doesn't have to worry if he hasn't done anything wrong. Of course, he wouldn't know about that.

Oooh that water looks so inviting! I'm not surprised that you went for a "heritage sail". It would have been extremely difficult to resist on such a beautiful day!

Magnificent trees, fabulous staircases, wonderful views and places and people and everything. Obviously it's not a patch on being there, but I am loving getting these glimpses thanks to you! :-)

OMG look at all those pretty photos! The waterfront, the flowers, the ancient tree and so much more. I've never been to NZ the two times I was in Australia, and these beautiful photos remind me I really should plan a visit. I'm glad you've been able to set aside some time for yourself and am actually quite envious you are visiting such great places AND in the Spring, when here in the northern hemisphere days are getting shorter and shorter, and nights colder and colder... Enjoy!
