Auckland... kind of like Sydney but smaller

We spent two and a half days in Auckland, where we had yum cha for the first time since leaving Sydney! Auckland feels a lot like home to me, only less hectic and not as polluted. We spent our time wandering through the city and surrounding areas like Newmarket. We had a very relaxing few days here, which was nice after being on the go for the past few weeks!

From One Tree Hill, you can get a fantastic view of the city. There's a story behind the "one tree" thing, but I can't remember. Anyway, there is no longer a tree on top of the hill, but a memorial, and lots of sheep! Where else can you find sheep in the middle of a city but New Zealand?!?

Nestled in a leafy pocket of Auckland, we stayed with Shane's relatives, whose house is situated halfway down a very steep hill! As a result we did a whole month's worth of exercise just walking up and down the stairs to and from the house :p
