Mt Eden

Finished this week on a high, visting Mt Eden and meeting up with James, Maiko and Bronwyne (seems to be becoming a weekly event). We headed down to a place named Sabato. Gold mine of amazing Italian and French food; olives, pesto, pasta, dark chocolate, coffee, cheeses…

Just after the last photo I was told off by the staff for taking photos…

We then headed over to a cafe named Circus Cirus for lunch

The district is named Mt Eden after the tallest Volcano in Auckland – 196 metres high. It provides stunning 360 degree views of the City, and reminded me just how spread out Auckland actually is. Photos really do not do the view justice I’m afraid

    LOOKING AT THOSE PHOTOS OF MOUNT EDEN REMINDS ME OF THE VIEW OF EDINBURGH FROM ARTHUR SEAT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SKY TOWER. COME TO THINK OF IT EDINBURGH CASTLE IS BUILT ON A VOLCANIC PLUG SO THERE IS SOME KIND OF CONNECTION.SABATO SHOP REMINDS ME OF THE THAT GREAT ITALIAN SHOP ON LEITH WALK IN EDINBURGH AND NEW ZEALAND IS SIMILAR IN SIZE TO THE UK AND SCOTLANDS POPULATION IS ABOUT 5 MIL AND NZ POP. IS 4 MIL – SEE THE SIMILARITIES?
