Auckland - Waiheke Island and back

Leaving Auckland harbour

We caught the

ferry to the island with the intention of cycling across and then

catching another ferry to Coromandel. When we looked at the

timetables for the ferry at the end of Septeber it seemed like a good

idea as it was also suggested in our guide. As it turned out there is

only a weekend crossing to Coromandel so plan B was hatched. We

cycled around on Waiheke and found some stunning beaches but the

island is quite populated. It would appear that quite a few Kiwi's

have a lovely home on the island and commute to Auckland by ferry.

Must beat the tube I guess! We found a lovely beach to relax on and

even had a swim. It was after all a beautiful sunny day. Gas bbq's and picnic tables all provided.

The water was crystal clear.
