New Zealand: the land of volcanoes. I have to say, I totally had no idea about the geology of the islands, and only came to realize their youth after visiting & seeing crazy mountain after mountain.

We began our trip in Auckland, the capital city. Our flight was quite relaxing as we got a whole center row, 4 seats! After landing, we went on this HUGE hike, about a few hours.
Cam snapped this photo while I was still able to manage a smile. The hike went through some gorgeous territory, gentile rolling hills, and huge trees. I wore some short socks & got blisters on the back of both of my heals that lasted the rest of our trip.

Our hostel was located right in downtown. We went out for a drink & watched someone jump from the top of that tower. It was crazy to see. Our tour around included the quay with huge wharfs and smart new construction and a university with beautiful historic buildings.
We are headed to the Coromandel Penninsula and gold country next in New Zealand. Till then.
