Kia Ora! As every week goes by, classes are getting more hectic so I've had less time to adventure. But regardless, my priority is student first so I'm trying my hardest to keep up with my studies. However, here are a couple of places I went went I had some free time to spare. Also, I have listed a couple of food places to head if you want to try really great food! Auckland Art Museum Admission: Free!! (Bring your student ID) Location: In City Campus directly next to Albert Park Other things to note: There is mojo (a chain coffee shop in the museum in case you need a drink or snack. Mt. Eden Admission: Free! Other things to note: This is Auckland's highest volcano and worth checking out (especially during sunset)! Difficulty: A very refreshing 2k hike that takes under an hour to do! Piha Day Trip! Cost: $42.00 NZD Site to Book: https://www.bookme.co.nz/things-to-do/auckland/activity/piha-paradise-full-day-trip/4172 Other things to note: If you want a reasonably priced tour that takes you outside Auckland, I highly recommend doing this tour. We saw a waterfall, did a lot of hiking along the coast and went to the beach afterwards. While on this tour, I would bring packed lunch so that you don't have to spend time walking to the restaurants since you only have a certain allotted time there. Also, on this hike, you will be learning about the kauri trees which is one of the trees that New Zealand is trying to preserve since these trees are dying out from a fungal disease. Additionally, the prices of the tours change depending on the day you go so it may be more expensive or cheaper than the day I went! Mission Bay Beach
Cost: Just pay bus fare! Things to Note: I didn't know sandflies were a thing when I got here. So don't bury yourself in the sand which a common sense thing to not do. You don't really realize when they bite you so you end up with blood on your legs. But don't worry, just be sure to treat it and put a band-aid and you all good to go! Along the beach, there is a huge fountain surrounded by lots of adorable birds and a line full of various restaurants to check out!
