Rotorua to Auckland

After saying goodbye to Ian we set off on our journey to Auckland with our navigational trust in the hands of Tom Tom.  Our journey was to be approximately 3 hours and we enjoyed a mystery cooks tour from Cambridge to Huntly.  We think that at least 3 other cars were doing the same as we continued like a procession on this obscure path, lucky our Tom Tom navigator knew where it was going.IMG_3711

 

We stopped in Huntly for a drink, eat and play before continuing our journey.  As we drove into Auckland we decided to detour via Mt Eden.   The mountain is the highest natural point in the whole of Auckland and is on the list of the top things to do in Auckland.  It is the site of an old volcano and gave us a great 360 degree view of Auckland.  James and Mummy walked around the rim of the volcano as Jennifer had just fallen asleep in the car.
