Today we all took the ferry into Auckland. Arran and Bri had business meetings and lunches at the U. of Auckland so Chris and I took the boys to Albert Park. From the Ferry Terminal, we walked up Queen’s Street past many shops and cafes to the top of the hill. 
I love the trees in New Zealand! They are perfect for climbing and have large smooth branches and roots that invite someone to come and sit or rest or a bit. Albert Park has some of the most beautiful trees and Max had a lot of fun climbing some of them. We saw other people sitting on branches or hiding among the large roots with their friends. There is a huge clock on the side of one of the hills with two huge iron hands and many plants or bushes marking the hours. There is also a picture of Queen Victoria next to a huge fountain where all the birds and children were playing. The boys fell asleep in their stroller and Chris and I went to the coffe shop in the Auckland Library to wait for Bri. 
We had tea and ‘toasties’. I had a toastie with ham, cheese and pineapple – a favorite sandwich in New Zealand (it was good). Chris stayed to check the internet and meet Arran later in the afternoon while Bri and I took the boys to the children’s corner where we saw a huge ‘doll house’ made out of a large slipper.
After some shopping, we took the ferry back to Devenport and walked home past the boys playing rugby in the domain. (some were playing barefoot – even though it is almost winter here!).
