Day 7 - Auckland Double Decker Bus Tour

The international office organized a bus tour for all of the international students to see some cool sights around Auckland. We got to see the Harbour Front and climb up some mountains, one of which had a huuuge crater. Most of the mountains here have craters because they were once active volcanos. You can see how big it is because there's a little black line in the centre of it which is actually a 15 year old kid.

The mountain in the background of the beach shot is Rangitoto Island and is the most recent and the largest of about 50 volcanos around Auckland. Rangitoto is a Maori word meaning "bloody sky".

We also went to Mission Bay to sit on the beach for a while. We also ate New Zealand's national food: Fish and Chips... most of it is batter and the fish is Snapper... lets just say I prefer poutine and back bacon ha ha!
