Spent the day doing the Coast to Coast walk in the sunshine! 16kms from Onehunga to the Viaduct. This is one of the many awesome views we had today from the top of Mt Eden to the CBD. #Auckland #NewZealand #Coasttocoastwalk #sunshine #skytower #walk #adventure
Happy days in the sunshine with my Kiwi. #sunshine #sea #armybay #blueskies #love #happy #kiwi #newzealand #auckland
We moved house recently but I’m so glad that we’ve stayed in the gorgeous area of Mission Bay! Spoiled rotten I know...#MissionBay #Auckland #RangitotoIsland #Volcano #beach #sea #sun #sand #coffee
Had a wonderful day celebrating Mum’s 60th Birthday. We took the ferry to the Riverhead Tavern for lunch. Super views of Auckland on the way back! #Auckland #AucklandHarbour #AucklandHarbourBridge #Sun #Sea #View #RiverheadFerry #Riverhead #Harbour
Should have posted this last weekend but we went on the Blue Springs walk. About 3 hrs return but following the stunningly clear water all the way. It was an absolute scorcher of a day so we were rewarded at the end of the walk by a dip in the water - which was actually freezing! Definitely recommend a visit when you’re in the North Island. #BlueSprings #NewZealand #walk #hike #nature #springs #clear #sunshine #BlueSpringsWalk
Coffee with a view, two of my favourite things. We’re starting our day at the top of the infamous Wellington Cable Car. #coffee #view #newzealand #wellington #cablecar #sunshine #blueskies #sightseeing
Spent the day sheltering from the rain and visiting The Great War Exhibition and then the Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War exhibit at Te Papa again but this time with Mum and Dad. They have been to a lot of WW1 exhibitions in the last few years and were really impressed by both. These photos are all from the exhibit at Te Papa and are some of the scale models. Highly recommend both if you’re in Wellington! #newzealand #wellington #tepapa #greatwarexhibition #ww1 #thegreatwar #gallipoli #wewillrememberthem
Spotted this beaut the other day, no filters, just nature... #flower #flowers #nature #newzealand #rotorua #nofilter #pink
The last time I did white water rafting in 2014, we went down the highest commercially raft-able waterfall and emerged victorious and unscathed...this time, with Mama Skerritt in tow, we flipped and had to adopt “capsize positions”, which was actually incredibly fun (once you found your way to the surface!) Still one of my favourite things to do in New Zealand! #kaitunacascades #kaitunariver #kaituna #whitewaterrafting #waterfall #adventure #newzealand #rotorua #capsize
Made the trip to Cathedral Cove via the Hahei Beach track, a hot walk in the sunshine but so worth it! Had a lovely swim at the cove too, perfect day with Mama and Papa Skerritt! #newzealand #northisland #hahei #cathedralcove #haheibeach #sunshine #sand #sea #adventure #roadtrip
Spent a rainy afternoon visiting some of my favourites at Kelly Tarlton’s, also got to see my lovely housemate Katey, underwater feeding the fish and sharks! #kellytarltons #sealifecentre #auckland #newzealand #penguins #rainyday #tourists
Another stunning day in New Zealand, we took a trip out to Raglan and visited Whale Bay for a wander around the rock pools in the sunshine. #whalebay #raglan #newzealand #sunshine #sea #rockpools #exploring
