We had a lovely day exploring One Tree Hill Domain and Cornwall Park in Auckland. One Tree Hill is an extinct volcano which rises above the largely flat Auckland isthmus. According to my guide book there are about 50 volcanic cones in and around Auckland. From the top of the hill we could see many of them as wooded lumps rising above the surrounding suburbs.
It was a beautiful day, clear, hot with a cooling breeze. Sliding down the hill into Cornwall Park Felicity entertained us with snippets of the lyrics she had learnt from Mamma Mia on the aeroplane. We could not persuade, bribe, threaten or distract her from those Abba masterpieces. We finished off with fantastic icecreams and a walk in the park, admiring the huge trees.
have just logged on and caught up with your travelling news. Bad luck about the first flight - so frustrating! Good to see the photos. Hope the house is ok too.
