WEATHER: Sunny and nice. Highs around 80
We are off to Waiheke where our friends' sister owns a beach house. We took a ferry from the Auckland Harbor and enjoyed a spectacular view of the city.
After about a 30-minute ride on a fast ferry, we arrived on the island. We hopped on the awaiting bus and rode around the island to our destination, Onetangi Bay. The house is just steps from the beach. The patio has windows right through to the bay, which leads out to the Pacific.
It is a beautiful house that they loan to family and friends, and also rent it out. Open floor plan...
After a nap and a walk on the beach, we strolled a short distance to Charley Farley's restaurant for dinner. It was really hopping! We grabbed the last table. We split "salt and "pepper" squid. It was the best squid I have ever eaten, very tender. Our hosts, Ken and Lynette....
George had a New Zealand beer and I had a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. I see a pattern emerging!
The band drew a crowd mixed with tourists and locals...
