A short walk on to a cafe for morning tea and a chance to relax. We detour around while below the traffic on 'spaghetti junction' rushes by.
We will visit St Benedict's church. Then admire the sculptures and resting place of the first Auckland settlers. Continue back along K Road to the Art Station and admire the current exhibition and outdoor sculptures. Wander back to the inner city, pausing on Hopetoun bridge to get the best photos of Auckland.
