A trip up north

Yesterday was really exciting. First we went up to Auckland to sample some Giapo ice-cream, which was absolutely delicious. There was a wide range of flavours like pineapple, cherry, plum, even avocado! My Two top favourites are the pineapple and cherry for the fact that the cherry was simply pure heaven, and the pineapple is one of my favourite tropical fruits. In the Giapo place there was also a live you-tube channel that locked up when Dad was interacting with it, his face was frozen on the screen for all the other customers to see. After being pulled away from the ice-cream we headed out of Auckland to the Gannet colony at Muriwai beach, when we got there I saw lots of Gannets, some on the cliff sides, and some in flight. This was all very exciting for me because I had never seen Gannets before, so for the next couple of hours of so we took lots of photos, some of which I'll put down at the bottom of this blog along with some photos from Auckland. Unfortunately my little brother started getting ratty and we were all getting rather hot so we headed back to the car were we saw a couple of para-gliders. On the way home I so wanted to go back when it was cooler and take more photos of Gannets, but that was a very interesting day, can't wait 'till next time!
