— Dr. Seuss (Oh, the Places You’ll Go!)

I am loving New Zealand right now. On the weekend a couple friends and I went out to the Waitakere Ranges and walked one of the tracks. We ended up near Piha, and did the short walk up to the Ketekete falls. The walk was pretty easy (only an hour or so return) and we were treated to some pretty fantastic views.

When your at work all week, living as we do, its pretty easy to forget that there is alot of fantastic experiences to be had in our own backyard. And after visiting the beach on the Saturday, and the bush walk the day after I’m blown away by how little I appreciated what was around.

It was pretty fantastic to get out there and spend the afternoon in good company, at a fantastic place, doing things you don’t normally do. Hopefully there will be more of this kinda stuff this summer. :) Fingers crossed, anyway.
