Presvytera Katerina
Priority: Like it a lot
Added: 2015-08-06 by another contributor
Reconnecting with Presvytera K. was the sweetest reason for choosing New Zealand. For goodness sake it's winter here! We had a delightful lunch on the pier. Calamari, kumara fries, and polenta fries. Kumara is a variety of the sweet potato. The next day I learned how New Zealand considers it a native plant. It's unknown whether the Polynesians gave it to South America or vice versa. I'm sure there is local pride involved.

Last Fowl, I promise!

There were chickens as well! Apparently one animal common to most Polynesian islands and New Zealand is the chicken. I saw them while visiting Hawaii and they run free here as well.

More fowl

I wasn't very good at getting the different types in one picture. Mostly because they were on soggy grass and I tended to stay on the pathway.

Western Springs

So much fowl! In a wonderful lake setting with walkways and little bridges. The birds just continue on the business of foraging. Unless a human offers free and easy handouts, them you hear quite a ruckus. Great Ingress tramping ground.

Winter day around Auckland
Added: 2015-08-03 by another contributor
I had fine weather for my first day. We took a ferry to Devonport, climbed their "mountain", and enjoyed spectacular views. After which we plopped down in a wonderful cafe for vegetable tart with chutney, delicious seafood chowder, and and a most surprising, but satisfying mixed up salad.

Paul has flown on a few days before from LA. Thank goodness he already has the public transportation figured out. No car rental!
