Two cruise ships were berthed in the harbour as we took our ferry to Devonport. They are so huge and grand!
Our ferry was not quite so sumptuous, but we didn't mind at all!
We had a delightful day in Devonport....risotto for lunch at the Esplanade Hotel....a mooch around the shops....a walk along the waterfront.
Then back to sit in the garden with a good book,
A perfect day.
Another day--another ferry. This time early morning to Waiheke Island, where we had a delicious breakfast, then discovered this beautiful beach at Onetangi.
We had it almost to ourselves, and spent a couple of hours soaking up the sun, reading, paddling and shell-seeking.
On the return journey, I couldn't resist this photo of the Ferry Building (the small brick building in the centre) which was the venue for Sue and Greg's wedding. When it was built, it was the tallest building in Auckland!
