In my host counselor's ongoing attempts to welcome me to Auckland, he and Jan invited me to join their walking group this Sunday for their first walk of the season. It was a walk charted out by Jan, a leisurely loop in the bush above Muriwai beach, and then a stop to check out the gannet colonies. Their friends welcomed me with open arms, and I had a lovely few hours. After the walk, it was a picnic lunch packed by Jan, including a delicious bran loaf that I must get the recipe for, and then back to the city. It was good to get out of the city (less than an hour away, although on the opposite coast!), and great to get a bit of exercise. And, of course, the scenery was beautiful!
