a ride with my brother

sis had to work today, brother B went to play golf in the morning. don't understand why anyone can be so engrossed in such a boring sport... anyways, yeah he took me out for a ride in his nissan skyline in the afternoon. cool! we drove up to a monument on One Tree Hill. it's situated in Maungakiekie (don't ask me what's that) you can see the whole of Auckland from the top.

the monument on this hill was built by Sir John Logan Campbell.

on our way up the hill, i saw lots of sheeps and cows roaming freely. brother B told me these cattles belong to the state council. they let'em roam around the area to keep the grass down. cool aye?

and of course what that's left behind on the grass is...

on our way back, we stopped at St Heliers beach

the wind was strong and there were many people doing kite surfing. how i wish i can kite surf too! it's so cool! you can fly up into the air 20 meters high! this new watersport is slowly taking over windsurfing because of its flexibility and excitement.
