Rangitoto

I'm finally giving this blog a go... I was hit by the "blogger-mania" at home a little while back, registered a blog name (thanks to my sis) but never got round to making a post. Let me start with my weekend in Auckland...
I took the time to visit Rangitoto Island with my sis. The walk to the summit (about 45 mins to 1 hour) was a little more challenging than I had anticipated - the supposedly "gentle" climb was still a little much for me (who is obviously unfit). The view from the summit made the climb worthwhile though. We also saw the "Queen Mary 2" cruise liner on our ferry ride back - everyone was trying to take a picture of the cruise liner on its only day in Auckland. I took the last flight out of Auckland and hence, missed the CNY reunion dinner. All I had for dinner was a biscuit and cup of coffee from Air NZ.
