Black Sand and Sunsets

Sunset on Black Beach

Updating twice in as many days feels a little weird and unnecessary, but we had an amazing tour today. It started at 10am and we were taken to some of Auckland's dormant volcanoes.

The views from One Tree Hill, which doesn't actually have a tree at the top anymore, and Mt Eden were brilliant and gave a wickedly good view of the city we have called home for the last two nights. The highlight by far was seeing the sun set on the Black Beach with the sand literally glistening underfoot. The guide we had was awesome and it was just the two of us for a majority of the trip and we had some of the places to ourselves.

It feels a little disappointing to be leaving Auckland for Queenstown tomorrow as we both feel we are just starting to get to know our way around, but BRING ON QUEENSTOWN!
