Cox's Bay

Sunday found us wondering the streets of Auckland again; this time around Cox's Reserve, a suprisingly green oasis in the middle of a residential area, slightly west of the city centre:















We had to stop for a while to admire this awesome view at Cox's Bay, which looks out across the Waitemata Harbour:















Refreshed, we strolled on through Herne Bay gawping at the ridiculously huge houses with private swimming pools and tennis courts and meandered down to the beaches there:



Beautiful eh!

post script: true news item on local radio this a.m:
"Truck of chickens die in road accident!
A truck full of chickens died in a road accident in Christchurch this morning. Had they survived this tragic accident, they might have made it to their destination unharmed; KFC."
