Waitakere Ranges

After the daycare run Irene and I set off for the Waitekere Ranges, spefically to the Arataki Visitors centre and the nature trail. As we are now getting use to, the sat nav gave precise directions along the Tamaki Drive, through the city, along the North Western Motorway, the Great North Road and Scenic Drive through Titirangi.

The visitors centre was undergoing renovation but there were spectacular view points.

We ended our visit by stopping for coffee in Titirangi. The chololate mudcake was superb. We bought a eve of inaugaration newspaper. There was a prophetic cartoon of Obama getting the oath wrong. The caption read that his oath would be "Give me five. Alleluia Bush has gone."
