Getaway #2 (Howick Village)

View from the top of Mt Eden.

It was freaking windy.
Almost got blown away by the wind.
I am not exaggerating it I swear.
When I put down my backpack, and climbed on the bench to get a clearer view of the city,
I can feel my legs got lifted up a little. 
Immediately put on my backpack for the weight.
=.=







 The crater
Mt Eden is an old volcanic site..








 I like how brown my hair is due to the weather..
But it's always messy due to the wind..





 An old church.
I love old buildings.















 After brunch (I was starving), I went to look for places to visit.
And I found this super cozy quaint cottage.
The food smells sooopa good.
But I've eaten.
So I got myself truffles instead.
It's a huge chunk of truffle I must say...




 Whoops.
Met two Singaporeans who are really nice (father and son).
Ended up chatting about random stuff.
And he was so nice to offer me a ride to Howick Village.
I was supposed to take a bus there (bus stand is about 10 mins walking distance).
So yeah, they gave me a ride there.

Of course my age came into the question since according to them, it's quite rare to see a twenty two year old girl travelling alone.

Those were the few kind souls that I met along my way..





























































































































































































 Walk back to look for the bus stand.

Oh hello Auckland city.
It feels like home there already during my second day stay there..
