Devonport

Had a quick trip over to the village of Devonport yesterday afternoon, it's a 15 minute ferry journey and a real step back in time. Beautiful old shiplap colonial style buildings and a real slow laid back atmosphere. Lots of little galleries and places to eat and drink, backed by a volcanic mount with (I'm told) great views back to Auckland city, I just didn't have the energy yesterday! This is the first thing I've seen in Auckland I really liked, it felt what I imagine parts of coastal New England in the States are like, Just lovely!
