Mount Wellington

I live near Mt. Wellington. In fact, I live so close to Mt. Wellington that I often go for walks up the mountain for a bit of exercise and some time to think.

Now, it’s called a mountain not because it’s particularly big, but because it is, technically, a volcano. I took a number of photos up there but this is my favourite (click for more detail):

Where else in the world can you walk up a mountain and look at the skyscrapers of the biggest city in the country with a bunch of cows grazing nearby? I love Auckland.

   Mt Eden is cool too, haven’t done the Mt W walk but should with you sometime! And Rangitoto is my favourite.

   Never knew you could get up there ^^;;;;

   Only been to Mt Eden, Mt St Johns (which is actually right opposite Epsom Girls) and Mt Hobson.

   Interesting.

   Striding up mountains is fun and stimulating, but wouldn’t you rather be earning mountains of £ in the UK?

   NZ$=NZ$ UK£=NZ$$$

   So get over here and start whoring yourself,
   even if only for one year. Just try it for one
   year…! You know it makes sense.
