Today’s ‘new thing’ was a visit to Takapuna, a coastal suburb of Auckland, in the pissing rain.
It’s just over the Auckland Harbour Bridge on the North Shore – not somewhere I had really ventured, being an Auckland newbie and all.
Despite this being a ‘new thing’, I don’t really have much to say about Takapuna, apart from the fact that it’s probably a lot nicer in the summer, and that it sports a great selection of shops and bars, oh, and a beautiful beach.
For a walk along the beach in the rain – 3 out of 5 stars
