Woke up early again today so managed to get a shower before the hot water ran out – that's a skill every backpacker has to learn fast! The truckers of NZ are holding a go-slow protest on Auckland's roads so i called the hire company to put off picking my car up today. After a leisurely breakfast and a political discussion with an American, I set off for Devonport – a suburb on Auckland's north shore. The $9 dollar ferry only lasted 12 mins but it gave the suberb its very own unique feel. This is the home to NZ's tiny naval fleet and has 2 extint volcanoes, Mt Victoria and North ... . I took a walk up Mt. Victoria (83m) which afforded me superb views of Auckland and it even had an old 'hidden' gun placement and an operational radar tower. I back in the hostel now and having a chilled out afternoon.
