Lara found a great deal for bikes near the wharf: 10 bucks and you can rent them for the whole day! So after class on Friday, instead of writing our paper that is due on Tuesday, Lara Kathryn and I decided it was time to play! We even got our professor, Khuram, to join us.
10 dollars, a neon green hemlet, a cute bikeman, and bike adjustments were all it took and we were off! We folowed Tamaki Drive, which follows the coast of the bay at the north end of the city.
This is the route we took along the shore.
We stopped at a few beaches on the way, riding our bikes down as far as we could, sometimes making it to the water. There were boardwalks we disturbed, playgrounds we passed, puppies, babies, waves, kite surfers, rugby players (always), old people, young people. There were even some awesome wave-cut rocks that needed to be investigated. Even though we were still in Auckland, it felt like our first time getting out of the city. It was well deserved and much needed.
