This past weekend we have been in Auckland, visiting the boy. He lives in a very nice house in
Birkenhead Point with several people and a friendly
mog (here being pampered by Noreen).
The house has views over bush,
Auckland Harbour
and the
Chelsea Sugar Factory.
Here's the mog (called Animal) again.
Sam demonstrated his hand standing technique
and we had a family photo on the deck.
Birkenhead is on the North Shore and nearby is a good view of the city with the Harbour Bridge and Sky Tower.
After lunch we headed to
Maungakiekie, formerly known as One Tree Hill. It was an old pa site subsequently appropriated by the colonialists as the resting place and memorial of
Logan Campbell. A Maori activist was not impressed and chopped the tree down a few years ago. Like many hills in Auckland, Maungakiekie is a (hopefully) dormant volcano. This is the crater
and view back towards the airport. As you can see it was a murky old day.
