A 3 hour tramp close to Brooklyn neighbourhood....really really windy and way up high. We had take away (kiwi for take out) curry in a little valley that we brought in with us.There are a few 'Great Walks' in New Zealand like the Abel Tasman and Routeburn track - but if you go anywhere in fact there are beautiful walks. When we went to the travel section for New Zealand in the library it was chock a block full of little tramping guidebooks entitled "my favourite hikes in ....fill in any small town/countryside". It really is a national passion to go tramping.
The city itself has a green belt that goes crisscrossing it with a whole series of tramps...the Northen Walkway that Hannah and I did at school, the City to Sea Walkway that this was a part of and the Southern Walkway which we are doing next week with Rebecca's class. So everywhere you look are green hills and ocean bays that are connected via walkways
Windy ++++
Classic New Zealand breathtaking landscape. That was our trail.
