Auckland to Papakura



Day 12, Monday, January 23, 2006. We picked up our rental car and headed to Papakura, just a short drive south of Auckland. After checking in at our B&B we spent the afternoon sightseeing along the west coast. Kariotahi Beach is a beautiful spot, with fine black sand as far as you can see. We drove up the peninsula to Te Toro and Awhitu. It’s wine country and dairy farms. We stayed until the cows came home. The first day driving on the left side of the road was exciting, and I only hit the left curb three times.
