Day 2 Auckland, Davenport and other beautiful places



Day 2 Auckland, NZ

We had an incredible, but also long and exhausting first day in New Zealand, so it made it easy to fall right asleep! We woke up and had breakfast with our families, then all met up and we were off on our adventures for the day. We took a ferry from Aukland to Devonport, which was so beautiful. Once we were on shore, we drove up Mt. Victoria, and were absolutely in awe. The view was like nothing we’ve ever seen!! Everything is so green and beautiful here. We took enough selfies to last us about 10 years! While we were there we found barracks, and had some fun ghost hunting and getting the crap scared out of us for a while. After we spent some time overlooking the breathtaking view of the ocean and islands, we were getting pretty hungry, so we ate lunch at a restaurant called the Stone Oven Bakery. We were in heaven! We tried new foods and desserts that were more than satisfying! Once we were nice and full of some amazing New Zealand food, we decided to go look around the mall and some shops for a while, but most of us walked down to the beach, which was only a few minutes away. We played some football, Frisbee, skipped rocks, and just soaked in the amazing experience of it all! We couldn’t stay for too long though because we had to head back to Auckland for our match. We played a local club team, and represented our Wolverines well! We won all five sets! After the game we all took off with our families for a victory dinner and a post victory good nights sleep. We are so incredibly grateful for the opportunity we have had to be here and have the time of our lives with each other and our amazing families!! Day 2, you treated us so well J
