On our way to Auckland for our canyoning trip we decided a stop in Whakarewarewa Forest (Aotearoa’s Redwood Forest) for some mountain biking was called for. I’m so glad we made the call to stop for some exercise because this place is beautiful and the riding is so much fun! We only managed to snap a few photos, but I think it’s pretty clear we were having a great time!
Adventures in Auckland
We decided to take a much needed rest in Auckland for the month of April, most of which was not noteworthy and consisted of take out, lots of tv, escape rooms, and wine. Our apartment had a great view of sunset, perfect for relaxing and cheersing a few. My parents had gifted us a day at the spa as well as a ride on the historic Riverhead Tavern Cruise, which we gladly imbibed in and we managed to be in town for the Auckland Happiness Fest. All in all Auckland was a nice spot to relax and ended up being the place we decided we were nearing the end of our New Zealand adventure.
