In a way, I am, Strider. These photos were taken on Rangitoto Island, which is a scenic reserve, outside city limits. My mom and I, got there by ferry in the morning, from Waitemata Harbour and had around an hour and 45 minutes to walk around and just take in the scenery, after which we and the other 'tourists', boarded the ferry again and had a mini-tour of the harbour (which lasted for about half an hour), before getting back to the city. I really enjoyed every minute of it and my only complaint is that the tour of Rangitoto Island, could have been a tad bit longer (around 4 to 5 hours, me thinks! ). There was so much natural beauty to take in and so little time!
