We got up early in the morning to check out our hostels with plenty of time to grab breakfast and jump on the ferry to Waiheke. We were told we were staying in a house on the island which could house 10 of us. The ferry was freezing cold because of the wind but we didn't really care because the sun was still shining.
After taking in the breathing taking views across the Auckland and the Islands, we landed at Waiheke. The island slighlty resembles the island off lost, with the buildings there and the scenery and breath taking rolling hills. We grabbed a taxi upto where we were staying (not before it started falling apart infront of our eyes). somehow we managed to fit the 9 of us (Me, Sammi, Lucy, Hannah, Matty, Danny, James, Dave and Paul) and 4 yanks in 7 seater!
We were greeted at the house by Ivan, who has been trying to sell it. I can't believe he hasn't had any luck selling it. Its surrounded by tropical trees so its really private and the view across the farms from the balcony is something to be admired (especially when theres a family of llamas there).
We just unpacked and chilled out abit before walking down to the supermarket to pick up essentials (beer and meat). We then walked down to the beach to catch some of the afternoon rays and have a BBQ in the evening on the beach.
Roll on the day trip the next day!
