On our return to Auckland harbour, we saw that a most unusual craft was anchored there. I thought it was the wine/beer combination but there really was a giant rubber duck there!
Brian and Janet flew off to Oz in the early hours and Anne and I took another ferry trip to Devenport.
I called in at a favourite bookshop which has a terrific early Sci-Fi sectio. Sadly, it is due to close shortly.
I think that, from the quality of the housing, some of the inhabitants of the houses in Devenport must have fairly well off.
As well as taking a few photos of the local architecture, we found another one of those fab trees that put us in mind of Tolkein.
Then a walk further along King Edward Parade and a climb up North Head (Takapuna) where guns still point seaward, left there since World War One I guess.
The view from there shows yet another deserted beach that would be littered with deck chairs, buckets and spades and lobster coloured people were it in England (not in mid January, obviously).
You can get a good view of the Sky Tower from there too.
