After weeks of searching I managed to find and buy a nice MTB from Trademe. I had nothing to do on Sunday, so it was a good idea to check out Waiheke Island, which is close to Auckland. Waiheke is known for its green hills and multiple wineries.
My route went via the Eastern tip to South and finally to the Onetangi Beach. The whole trip was 52km and took me 7 hours. It's hard do describe how much steep hills I faced during the trip. At least I had no problems falling asleep that night!
I have to mention this funny announcement that I heard from the captain in the return ferry:
"Hopefully you enjoyed your weekend on the lovely Waiheke Island. Now it is our job to take you back to the reality."
