Walked for a couple of hours in Auckland on Sunday before coming back home yesterday. In the 11 years I lived here I should've gotten out more during the daylight. Maybe when I move back. View of a trio of dormant volcanoes out there:
the DFW Metroplex has a ton of spots that totally look just like this but they'll have a Walmart just behind the hill with a McDonalds just behind the camera
While my 2yo niece is in NZ we visited the wildlife park Staglands which isn't too far from here, although the road to get there is narrow and nerve-wracking. I'd never been there before. Feels like a bit of a relic as there are less places like this around than there used to be.
