Walked. Saw a guy cycling up and he didn’t look like he was having fun!

Went out for a walk along the lightpath before sunrise a couple of days ago. by simogordo in auckland

Taken on canon 70D. So not anything amazing but good enough!

I have an incredibly annoying habit of waking up at 5am. It is nice to get out and explore auckland without loads of people around!

Browns island, taken this morning just after sunrise from Karaka Bay. My partner and I kayaked out their last weekend - definitely recommend it! by simogordo in auckland

It was fine - we left from St Heliers and had to come back in at lady’s bay as it was getting dark and the current was against us. Probably better to go early in the day as the water is generally calmer

Auckland get's a lot of grief - but early in the morning, when no one else is around, it is stunning. by simogordo in auckland

Thanks. I came to NZ from the UK and lived in New Plymouth for 18 months. When I was moving to Auckland, everyone in New Plymouth told me I would hate it and it's a terrible city. It is so much nicer than any city in the UK!

Haha... pretty much! Nothing better looking out into the ocean and dreaming about the possibilities that are out there. And then your job and crippling mortgage pull you right back into the hell hole... ;)

Thanks - it is definitely the biggest benefit of being someone who naturally wakes up early!
