On my last day in NZ I wasn’t flying until after 9pm so Ant planned a day out ending up fairly near the airport.
He had planned to go to Butterfly World but it was closed.
Alternative choice was Cornwall Park. It was very nice but we did walk a lot…..nearly 10,000 steps for me!
I was told it was good to exercise my legs before a long haul flight! Quite right!
Finn had a day off school but Max did not!
I liked this view but I’m hoping someone will tell me the name of that hill we can see?
I did look for the Sky Tower as a feature of reference but no sign!
I think it would be Mt Wellington.. were you looking South. Always like a walk around Cornwall Park, it is lovely on spring with lambs, daffs, and Rhodos. They have closed the road off so you can't drive to the Top of One Tree Hill that is within the park.
It’s a lovely central city green area and well used by so many people. I agree with @julzmaioro that it is probably Mt Wellington - one of the many volcanic bumps in Auckland.
Nice pov over the city. Definitely a good plan to get your legs working before a flight. I circle my ankles and wrists and pump my legs a lot when I am on a flight. One blood clot in my life was enough!
So lovely to have a special day before your flight. And all those steps are a good idea. My legs were very restless on the first part of our flight from Shanghai but I must have slept 😄
